But this makes me think that since it's been a while since JES2 gained support for RECFM/LRECL other than F/80, and JES3 even longer, it's about there was a NF APAR or a Requirement that the ISPF SUBmit command support longer and variable record formats. Apparently IBM saw sufficient need or business case for the facility to invest the resource to provide it in JES2. Why stop short of supporting it in ISPF? -- 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
