This would result in QSAM trying to read an 1150 byte block in the second dataset with a read for 1000 bytes and getting a wrong length record I/O error. The unlike cocatenation close/open didn't merge in the new BLKSIZE and LRECL. Why not? Perhaps because they were already set before the first open... What does the *SOURCE* DCB & JCL look like? Do either specify LRECL and/or BLKSIZE? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
