Never been a good idea to recycle usage - or extend it. If you VDEFINE ZSCROLLN, for whatever reason, as a 4-byte character field and then good old ISPF extends it to 8-bytes then bad things happen.
Better to give you ZSCROLNL at 8-bytes and all the ZSCROLLN users stay happy-ish. -Hank ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
