The DLM keyword on SYSIN is extended from 2 characters to 18 characters to provide more granularity.

Why not JES3, also? -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
