TSO CONCAT(DD1 DD2 etc...) I don't think that's the exact syntax... 'command(...' is not valid. The CONCAT is on the CBT TAPE File 535 Also, didn't CONCAT have some issues with FREE? Mind you, I haven't used it since 1988, so I could be wrong in my recollection (... or 'blowing smoke' ...).

Yes of course not a common problem. I believe a PREFIX= is a real good idea but lets see how the PMR goes Tnx Roland This situation is hardly unique. You just always have to plan not to use two of such macros in the same module. I'm sure that we could enhance IFAQUAA to support PREFIX= which

How is it you came to have a jobid and not know the jobname? Maybe instead of fighting to find the name you can backtrack to what captured the jobid, it must have had a jobname at that point too. On Fri, 9 May 2008 14:34:39 -0500, Mark Jones [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From an authorized
