Well now I am thoroughly confused. I am looking at Init & Tuning and those do not appear to be valid PROGxx statements. What am I missing? I see LNKLST ADD in I&T but not SETPROG LNKLST,ADD -- that's a console command, not a PROGxx statement, right?

It would seem that for the same effort as Set PROG= IBM could have produced a much more generally useful console command to cause MVS to read and "execute" a file of console commands, presumably possibly including SETPROG,APF,ADD and DELETE. Or perhaps such a command exists (I am not much of a console operator)? If so, why then SET PROG= at all? Why not just use that facility? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
