Yes, that would be the same. So, how about if you preallocated a sequential file, then used IEBCOPY (with or without replace - as might be appropriate for your product) to copy the new file into the pds or pdse member?
I am curious as to why a pds or pds/e is needed . In my shop, we use individual sequential , or GDG for ftp datasets.

Linda - Thanks, yes, I am pre-creating (hope that's what you meant) the dataset. I get into trouble if it's DSN(MEMBER),DISP=NEW/MOD because you can't do that twice.

Hi Charles, I have read through the thread with some interest, though I do not know you or which product you are working on. Would it be possible for your code to preallocate the receiving dataset? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
