I'm not aware standard services allow mixed case member names - but as far as I know PDS only works with IBM standard and I was not able, using PDS to create a member name with lower case. Get it and try it - it's free. So kick the tires and see if it does what you want. Lionel B. Dyck

The pds command is case insensitive in this area - dataset names and member names are all converted to upper case as is standard for z/OS. The commands as well are case insensitive. Try it - you'll love it. Lionel B. Dyck < Website: http://www.lbdsoftware.com "Worry more about your c
