Lizette was close. In z/OS 1.10 there was change made so that downleveled LE runtime was not supported. Part of that change also included a change to CEEROPT:
"CEEROPT is expanded so that it can now be loaded outside of the CICS and LRR environments. This support is controlled by using keywords in CEEPRMxx parmlib members. For more details, see z/OS Language Environment Customization." I remember hearing about it all at SHARE in being very confused. I was also concerned because we had one app still using a very old LE runtime because it needed the RTEREUS=(ON) option for Datacom /COBOL and of course setting it at execution time is too late since the runtime environment is already built. I could have created a special "current" LE loadlib with the option linked in, but the change in z/OS 1.10 gave me the excuse to finally "force" the application owner to create / link in a CEEUOPT with the required setting into the app. Mark -- Mark Zelden - Zelden Consulting Services - z/OS, OS/390 and MVS mailto:mzel...@flash.net Mark's MVS Utilities: http://home.flash.net/~mzelden/mvsutil.html Systems Programming expert at http://expertanswercenter.techtarget.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
