So what's your point? A three character hex string in the UNIT is intepreted as a UCB address. A four character hex string, unless prefix with a slash, is intepreted as an ESOTERIC name. Period. That's how JCL works. It's just part of the design from the 1960s. Try putting in the slash. It can't hurt and should work. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
