In the JCL Ref. I read: Syntax: Character Sets Table 11. Special Characters Used in Syntax (continued) Character Syntactical function && To identify a temporary data set name, for example, &&TEMPDS, and, to identify an in-stream or sysout data set name, for example, &&PAYOUT
Is that true? My understanding has been that a single ampersand identifies a temporary data set name, and the additional ampersand is used to prevent symbol substitution. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
