IIRC, BPAM support for HFS directories is "read-only". If somebody want to use "legacy" programs to update a "member" of an emulated PDS in an HFS, then it would fail. So the PDS may still be needed. E.g. using IEBUPDTE <shudder> or maybe, like me, they have some ISPF "edit macros" which they run in batch which scan and update members of a given PDS. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its content is protected by law.
