Thanks - found out that they are subsystem data sets and not 'real' data sets. Now to find another rabbit trail to go down.

This type of function is usually externalized using the SUBSYS= keyword option on the DD statement in JCL (and associated SVC 99 TU keys). Not sure what you expecting; but these function are NOT 'exit' points in open/close processing nor are they any kind of 'notification' function (like the console command interface SSI #10). Have you checked out: "MVS Using the Subsystem Interface"?? (the z/OS 1.13 level of the manual is: SA22-7642-12) Bill.....
