Hmmm... Will BLDL and DESERV report mixed-case names, easily created in a PDS with STOW or with Binder, and even more easily in UNIX directories? IIRC they do appear in ISPF member lists. And how will BLDL treat UNIX members "WOMBAT" and "WOMBAT ", the latter having a trailing blank, which is not portable but possible? -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
