But I wonder which control block contains the relevant information.
Too many z/OS components behave as the first catenand were all. A favorite: if the first catenand of SYSEXEC is a UNIX directory, Rexx fails (I forget the exact mesage). If I make the first catenand an empty temporary PDS followed by the same UNIX directory, Rexx finds and executes EXECs in that directory. ETR; WAD. (Slight misbehavior: sporadically the EXEC terminates with a program check, but it has completed successfully; I lose no data.) Likewise, AMATERSE refuses to extract an archive in a UNIX file. But if I catenate an empty temporary data set followed by that UNIX file, extraction works fine. U:NIX is still a second class citizen but sometimes, in costume, it can pass. Was there a job log message, S213-rc identifying the catenand? -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
