The parameter field is continued from column 71 of the first card image to column 16 of the second. APOST - 'T' has to be on 71th column ROPHES - 'R' has to be on 16th column. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
