Also the CMS Callable Services > Reference (SC24-6072-02) should contain a usage note referring to this. The directory entries MAY be sorted. The documentation for DMSGETDF is silent on the subject of file ordering, so a usage note that say they are NOT sorted would be as inappropriate as one that says they ARE sorted. CMS sorts the directory only on ACCESS and RELEASE. New files added always appear at the end of the list. Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott
