You can use AMODE 31, RMODE ANY for everything QSAM, BPAM...doesnt matter. Sometimes a few more hoops have to be jumped thru, but it works just fine.

It is what I would use if I were to write a non-RENT program that did QSAM or BPAM I/O. If you think about it, it is a subset of the conditions allowed by AMODE 31, RMODE ANY.

'Whinge' similar to 'complain'. Spellings vary :-) You're right about the AMODE/RMODE, though. I had them reversed. AMODE 31, RMODE ANY, although it was AMODE 31, RMODE 24 in one circumstance I'd have to think about. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
