I just got: IEW2766S D216 DDNAME SYSLIN IDENTIFIES AN HFS FILE AS PART OF A DATA SET CONCATENATION. THIS IS NOT SUPPORTED.
So, now I must RTFM "Using Data Sets" to find the section that states that JCL concatenation of HFS files _is_ supported, since OS/390? Earlier? So I can start YA PMR. Why can't IBM's developers learn IBM's own rules? And why must they go out of their way to write code to enforce the rules they invent in their delusions? Why not just read SYSLIN with QSAM and let it work or fail as it may. If they don't deliberately try to make it fail, it will work. -- 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
