Isn't that the scheme? Conventional object decks all begin with x'02'. (12-2-9 multi-punch, right? -- Now there's some wasted brain cells!)
So for GOFF they went to ... X'03'.

(Maybe then read the instructions.) I just tried HLASMC PARM=GOFF. Every record in SYSLIN begins with X'03'. So, on the basis of this unscientific sample, no problem. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
