Amazing how many programmers actually DO think "system abend" == "system problem". But, being Friday, it is somewhat nicer that an old DOS message I remember: "JOB TERMINATED DUE TO PROGRAM REQUEST" or something similar. The programmer insisted that the program did not contain any code (which he brought with him into my office) which requested that it be terminated! It was the equivalent of an S0C4 of some sort, as I vaguely recall. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
