It should matter little. Nowadays (at last!) in a concatenation the largest value prevails (or is that only for BLKSIZE?) And if you need a larger member in a PDS, just copy it in with overriding LRECL which sticks in the DSCB. What was R.S. trying to tell me? That at least it's not an undocumented limitation? I see nothing relevant in SG24-6106 (but what keywords?) One of these days, I need to RFE for support of UNIX files in SYSEXEC concatenation. It works, sort of, but since it's unsupported an SR is pointless. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
