>>I would make ##PRM bigger. As it is now, the ENQ macro will overlay the >>dsname. Perfect, thanks Binyamin. Changed ##PRM length to cover ENQ length.....WORKS PERFECTLY !!! I was probably clobbering STIMER wait time....not a good idea. :> ENQ (SPFEDIT,DSNAME,E,52,SYSTEMS),RET=USE,MF=(E,##PRM) :>* :> LTR R15,R15 DID EDIT WORK ?? :> BZ Z@@2300X YES--EXIT :>* :> MVC ##PRM(4),#Q#DEQ INITIALIZE DEQ PARAMTERS :>* :> DEQ (SPFEDIT,DSNAME,52,SYSTEMS),RET=HAVE,MF=(E,##PRM) >>Why DEQ if the ENQ failed? Won't hurt, but why bother? I assumed that I needed to do a DEQ to eliminate previous ENQ....in case it was pending. I have been messing with this for a month off and on....I don't understand why ISPF Manual didn't come up in SEARCH....oh well. I was close on my original attempts to do this, but the PARM length being wrong was one problem....the other was constructing the DATASET NAME and MEMBER. I thought It needed to be 'DATESET(MEMBER)'....but never would have thought dataset name (44) padded...then member(8) padded. First time I've heard of this format. But I don't care....It Works Now !!! Love it when a plan comes together !!! Thanks again guys for your help.....never would have gotten it without it.
