Nuts, I was answering this, thinking I had the latest to find out I did not.

The parser used by C:D for z/OS has some issues. This is probably a doc error. I'm afraid that the GDG has to be done enclosed with apostrophes.

But, contact support (whoever actually had this problem) and point them to the DOC and what had to be done to get it to work. And ask them about an RFE.

Next question on serialization: If you run a process to do a copy, the process steps are done in the order given.

So could you be a little more specific on what you are trying to serialize?

Regards,
Steve Thompson

The quotes had to be around the GDG DSN in the VOL=(,RETAIN,REF='gdg.dsn(0)')

Go figure - hoping they take an apar on that as the syntax error message was 
totally worthless.

I also found a RESGDG keyword but could not find any explanation of what it 
does?

Another Question: Is there a way to serialize multiple COPY's within a PROCESS?

The problem was the TO was a GDG and the dsn needed to be in quotes :-)

In quotes? It is not documented in the C:D manuals (at naming conventions and 
syntax diagram for VOL=) or I missed that somewhere. Where dsn (lowercase) is 
documented, no mentioning of quotes are stated.


Ok, I will remember that. Many thanks, Lionel.

On to the next quest! ;-)
