(I've used DSORG=PS; never tried PO.) But why not pass the DSN(MEMBER) in PARM rather than a DD statement. If 100-character limit is intolarable, alternatives include STDPARM, PARMDD, and STDENV.
And beware. No standard utilities (e.g. pax) are specified to work with //DD: and only a handful with //DSN. Otherwise, it's an accident if they work, and unsupported if they break. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
