Are you saying that DD DDNAME= doesn't work without VOL=REF? Are you saying that DSN=&&TEMP on both DD requires one to have a VOL=REF? If allocation is causing a problem, doesn't an IEFBR14 step solve that problem? You can get VOL=REF to work for temporary datasets but is it the right solution? The only times I used VOL=REF was for datasets that needed to be on the same volume. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
