Consider using PDSESHARING(EXTENDED) Some of my ICETOOL jobs crashed (OPEN abend) because of too many PDS members opened to write/overwrite. Solved that by moving over to PDSE instead having to use lots of PDS datasets with fewer members. [1] >Now, COBOL v5 and v6 do require PDSE for linked binaries. We're not there (at 4.2.0), but trust me, our programmers will faint when they find out about that requirement. ;-) Groete / Greetings Elardus Engelbrecht [1] - I have considered using temp PS datasets as output instead of permanent PDS/PDSE members, but I want to see the contents long after the ICETOOL jobs were purged. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
