Actually, there is the old form of JCL, where you are allocating in blocks, rather than tracks/cylinders. Check the JCL Reference. BTW, you are asking for one byte blocks, and only one of them. But, the minimum dataset size is one track for (E)CKD. - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
