Actually, JES2's SEGMENT support is based on the number of PAGES, which in turn are based strictly on skips to channel 1, while the JES3 THRESHLD support is based on the number of LINES. Presumably JES2 output that has LINECT=0 specified (somewhere) would result in no SEGMENTs produced, whereas JES3 is more difficult to confuse (in that aspect, at least). -- Tom Schmidt Madison, WI ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
