I understand that the first block is lost. Using the ZAP command, I can forward to the next block and see data. The 'standard utility' products I can think of will stop immediately at the physical EOF even though (thanks to StarTool/PDS) the data set appears full. That is, ISPF 3.2 shows 100% used. ? To another suggestion, deleting the first block sounds appealing, but how would I 'delete' an EOF?
Do I really have to write a program to get my data??? . .

Write Count Key Data erases the rest of the track. The best that you can do is to start reading at TTR 00010100. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
