When S99NORES is set, there is NO data set serialization and multiple tasks may reference or update the data set simultaneously, resulting in unpredictable effects. It is the responsibility of the authorized program setting S99NORES to provide the necessary serialization. Do you want to do that? It might be a hard sell with the vendor. "Vendor"? Is that vendor using multiple address spaces? -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
