A bit counterintuitive. But, then, it _is_ JCL. >DISP=(REPLACE,CATLG,DELETE) to function like DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE), >but without causing a JCL error if the dataset happens to already >exist.

Doesn't cause JCL error. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
