I remember seeing such a program sometime within the last 15 years. I don't remember what "character string" used to create the S0C1, but I remember thinking that some day it would be a valid opcode and there was going to be some very unanticipated behavior in that program. Sheesh! Everybody knows you're supposed to EX and EX in such circumstances, not execute some clever word. You need a more intuitive, self-explanatory abend like S0C3 to aid your debugging. :-) Pat O'Keefe ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
