Or FTP, which accepts a DDNAME and apparently doesn't use it. It (apparently) allocates its own DD and gets it wrong. I have an example PUTting from a mixed concatenation of legacy and UNIX files. Works with IEBGENER SYSUT1; gives incorrect (different) results with FTP PUT. -- 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
