Happy New Year to everybody! Lizette, I just read about BPX.CONSOLE and I must say that the description is rather fuzzy.
However, my guess is that you have BPX.CONSOLE defined and that your EKM server's userid is permitted to BPX.CONSOLE. If so, as per description of the BPX1CCS, it has to provide it's own message prefix. Note that this requirement is *not clearly* documented in the XL C/C++ runtime reference for __console(), so how should someone coding in C/C++ know about that??. I'd try to take the permission to BPX.CONSOLE away from EKM's userid and see if that helps. -- Peter Hunkeler CREDIT SUISSE ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
