Can I suggest that you give up on the, 'wrapper' and use the ICKDSF command? The relevant manual is GC35-0033-34 ICKDSF R17 - Device Support Facilities R17 Users Guide and Reference which can be found in pdf format at http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/os/zos/bkserv/zvmpdf/#ickdsf17
HELP ICKDSF is also, in my view, quite useful. (For beginners, check out INVOCATION and then select either CKD COMMANDS - for 3390 - or FBA COMMANDS and then select CPVOL.) Personally I find it much easier to understand what's happening when I'm using the utilities directly - as per their respective manuals - than I do when having my elbow joggled by, 'helpful' wrappers. They perhaps have their place when starting out but I find that - because of their necessarily limited nature - they can quickly become unhelpful and inhibitors to true progress and understanding Regards Jeff (Currently struggling to understand exactly what SERVICE ALL really does under the covers) Gribbin ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
