Oliver How curious a juxtaposition you have engendered in jumping in with a case of the problem around which much theoretical perturbations have been swirling.
USS in the title is potentially ambiguous of course but the risk is much diminished by the "invoking" of something that is unlikely to be a VTAM-based program - but I can't say everyone would necessarily know them all. Also the introducing preposition is more likely to be "with" than "under". All that having been said, this Subject line just about passes inspection. - My contribution here is merely to question whether or not you have checked the key part of the "reason code" which appears to be saying you lack some sort of authority: <quote> 0252 JRExternalLink An external symbolic link was found but is not supported. Action: Do not specify the name of an external symbolic link. </quote> This was taken from the z/OS UNIX System Services Messages and Codes manual Chapter 5, "Reason Codes". You didn't mention you had any worries about the "external symbolic link" so perhaps knowing what this code means could help you progress with your problem determination. I can never remember this command but perhaps knowing it exists is sufficient and Google gave me the following - adjusted to include your code - slightly corrected by removing a part I think is incorrect - and with the alternative I am espousing included in the description: <quote> Issue the following TSO command to display the individual message text for a zUNIX return and reason code.... TSO BPXMTEXT xxxxyyyy Example: TSO bpxmtext 05940252 JRExternalLink: An external symbolic link was found but is not supported. Action: Do not specify the name of an external symbolic link. </quote> Chris Mason On Tue, 15 Feb 2011 04:43:50 -0600, Oliver Mueller <kern...@yahoo.de> wrote: >Hi > >I encounter a problem at invoking xlc under z/OS UNIX System Services. > >If I try to compile and link a program by a command such as > > xlc -o hw hw.c > >I will receive this error message: > >EDC5129I No such file or directory.
