Hi Ed, My thanks for the pointers to the Data Areas manuals. I have those here already. They are good when you know the block you are looking for. I'm more interested in the relationship between the blocks starting, obviously, at the PSA. I had a short document that told me what blocks were tagged off of what other blocks to help in running the chain. The data areas don't have this information, just what's in the blocks once you find them. I should have been clearer. My thanks for the help none the less.
