How would this look using your method? //MYPGM EXEC PGM=MYPGM //ALLOC DD DSN=MY.FILE,SPACE=(CYL,(100,10)),DISP=(MOD,CATLG) /* UNIT= or SMS? */ //MYFILE DD DISP=OLD,DSN=*.ALLOC,VOL=REF=*.ALLOC (From memory; not lately tested.) (I don't know how to deal with the RLSE option.) -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
