The biggest "problem" to me with JCL SET commands is that the are not really JCL. They don't exist once the converter uses them. Sort of like HLASM GBLx variables. They don't generate any text records themselves. They just modify the values in other instructions. Likewise, JCL SET variables and values do not result in "internal text" records. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
