But, on existing files the parameters are still there. If you specify the parms in an IDCAMS job, they are ignored -- no syntax error. The file won't have them. It's not due to SMS, rather DFP. I modified VCLONE from the CBT. It does the same thing, but won't pass the three options through. It will also dump the control cards into a PDS (as an option). I called it VC3, and I don't recall which file it is on. - 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
