What's the rationale for specifying NONVSAM if it seems only to cause problems? Ages ago, before TSO/IDCAMS was so nearly smart, I coded in Rexx (IIRC): address 'TSO' 'HDELETE ''DATA.SET.NAME'' WAIT' if RC<>0 then 'DELETE ''DATA.SET.NAME''' Crude, but effective. Why do some sysadmins detest programmers who do what's expedient? -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
