Tom, if you had read my question you would see it mentioned JCL only in passing. My "problem" is not with JCL and while the answer may be obvious from the documentation, not one person here has been able to answer it. You carefully pruned the part of my question that you quoted to remove the part that explained what I AM trying to accomplish. What's the point?

Sure, but it only works if you read it. It is in the JCL reference. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
