Robin and Barbara, Interesting. My 2.4 system looks a lot like Robin's.

They all have al length of 252 which is extremely unlikely. This is what it looks like on my system (only the *x files): libzz.x fff--- --s- ---- BPXROOT SYS1 6723 libzzX.x fff--- --s- ---- BPXROOT SYS1 6723 libzz64.x fff--- --s- ---- BPXROOT SYS1 7209 The last change date on mine is 2023/01/06, which is the time I last put maintenance in. No idea what that was, but I guess that's your only chance of fixing the truncated stuff. The date you show is when this stuff was first installed by IBM. I am guessing for the ServerPac.
