As an alternative, if output is written to an HFS file, it can be read while the job is in progress. In fact, with /bin/tail you can scroll the output as it is written block-by-block (with a 2-second latency). The HFS file could be printed later, with an IEBGENER step. -- gil -- StorageTek INFORMATION made POWERFUL ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
