ISPF used to have the 255 limit. No longer AFAIK. Old phobias die hard. And UNIX files are wonderful. Whatever attributes you specify in the DCB, the access method makes them look that way. It should have ever been thus so you could mix FB and VB simply by overriding the DCB in JCL. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
