SDSF also shows me several (pseudo?) DDNAMEs such as JESJCL, JESYSMSG, and JESMSGLG. What happens if the programmer attempts to override one of these, e.g. by directing it to a catalogued data set or a UNIX file? The JCL Ref. indicates that they are available to the //*FORMAT PR statement. ("//*FORMAT PR" looks uncomfortably like a comment. Is this a reserved comment? Ugh!) -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
