I could do the above. If I did not feel so tired that even typing this email is difficult (ongoing medical condition). I guess what I should really do if I want any "new system symbols" is simply write a JES2 exit 2 to insert a bunch of // SET symbol=value cards immediately after the JOB card. But that is way too much trouble too. And, in any case, that would violate our standard of "No mods, no exits, no customization! Plain vanilla or death!" -- John ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
