In 1981, $PQ was a valid (and dangerous) JES2 command. I know: I issued it once (truncation problem). Now, $PQ is invalid. You have to have an argument. To do what I did in 1981, you now have to issue $PQ,ALL (or whatever it is with the new syntax). So, at least it's not accidental. - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
