Big numbers make me think of allocation-detected problems. Can you try adding "MSG(WTP)" to see whether allocation tells you something in the job log? I tried your command from Rexx. I needed to change the HLQ, then it worked with no errors. If I knew COBOL I'd ask how you called BPXWDYN. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
