But SYSOUT is not readable. It's only one way: out! SYSIN is just about a DD name as any other; there is no special meaning behind it except from the convention that it's the DD name used by many utilites to read in commands. So there is no reason why writing data to DD=SYSIN and then reading this very data back in should be something special. -- Peter Hunkeler Credit Suisse ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
