Well, yet another typical IBM-MAIN thread. Speculation, tangents, assumptions, misconceptions, irrelevancies, etc. As to the long-forgotten original question, JCL DDNAME is a rarely useful feature. It is supported by neither DYNALLOC nor ALLOCATE. I'm not sure what the OP thinks it does, but it probably doesn't. sas ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
