Hmm, in my experiments, if the VOLSER is SMS-managed, a JCL error does indeed occur. It also occurs whether the program attempts to open the data set or not. (what does the manual mean by "problem program"??) Specifying a non-SMS-managed VOLSER did result in an S213 abend when the program was IEBGENER, but not when it was IKJEFT01 -- IRX0567E Unable to perform I/O operation on file DDIN. OBTAIN error code 8 was received for data set number 1.

In fact, what I observe is "IEC143I 213-04,...". I believe a system ABEND is not synonymous with a JCL error. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
