In my experience with z/OS FTP, REPLACE never seems to do any harm. It seems to be permissive. It does not say the dataset must pre-exist, just that it may. Any command that will succeed without REPLACE will succeed with REPLACE, apparently.

Specifying REPLACE or not specifying it had the same result - a new generation was created. (In my test, the data sets were SMS-managed.) So, that doesn't seem to be the causer, sorry. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
