I think you mean that the thing that helped you was to examine the SMPLOG output. I'm surprised at that because I have not yet noticed anything in SMPLOG that is not also in SMPOUT. In any case, SMPLOG is a valuable resource for diagnosing some situations long after the fact, when the job output is gone. I strongly recommend that it go to a data set with DISP=MOD, and that SMPLOGA be available in the event that SMPLOG fills. I use SMPLOG several times per year, and don't bother with LIST LOG, but just VIEW the data set and use the HX line command to see the packed decimal date and time in the first few bytes. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
