For: //SETUP EXEC PGM=IEBGENER //PASSIT DD DISP=(,PASS),UNIT=SYSALLDA,DSORG=PS,SPACE=(TRK,0) //STEP EXEC PGM=IEBGENER //SYSUT1 DD DISP=OLD,DSN=*.SETUP.PASSIT,RECFM=F,BLKSIZE=24000 LRECL is set to 24000, not 80. RCF submitted. (I suppose they might quibble over whether LRECL is "not available" when BLKSIZE is specified and RECFM=F). -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
