Not sure, but a 4 digit UCB address does require a leading slash. Try: //SYSUT2 DD DSN=ZSMD.ZSMD137.XXX,DISP=(,PASS), // UNIT=(/8649,1,,SMSHONOR),LABEL=(1,SL)
In your example "8649" was intepreted as an ESOTERIC name, not a UCB address. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
