(all with RECFM=FB,LRECL=1,DSORG=PS)? If so, why doesn't the C/I let me specify, simply: //SYSUT6 DD UNIT=SYSALLDA,SPACE=(1,102400000),AVGREC=U, ... and do the funky factoring itself (after all, it's closer to the computer than I am)? Instead, it gives me: 8 IEF642I EXCESSIVE PARAMETER LENGTH IN THE SPACE FIELD Maybe someday, when all supported processors have 64-bit arithmetic? (But not needed for the above example.) -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
