Thank you for your reply. I did find out that JCTCLASS and JCTJCLAS and JMRCLASS all contain the letter "A" no matter what job class I use when submitting. Based on the verbage in the JES2 EXITS manual about the JCT being available it just seems a bit odd that it wouldnt' be populated with the information from the job card.
Any-hoo, I plan on using the RCARDSCN interface to retrieve the CLASS parameter. Ya I could tip-toe through the STMT buffer but that seems so old school. :-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
