Thanks, I think I understand better now. I take it you have a single buffer in [E]CSA that you append data to the end of (poor sentence construction, -5 points!). I've never done it that way. I've always done a STORAGE OBTAIN for just enough [E]CSA to contain the record + 8 bytes. I then chained that buffer onto a linked list using CDS. Back in the days that I did this, I anchored this chain in an SSVT. In today's environment, I'd likely use NAME/TOKEN services to create a global NAME whose token value was a pointer to the head of chain in ECSA. For me, this was simpler to code than suballocating a single buffer. Of course, it also has more overhead due to the STORAGE OBTAIN and RELEASE sequences to get and free the individual SMF records. I guess you are using some sort of "wrap around" buffer, adding to the "end" and taking from the "beginning"?
