It this the reason that Rexx LISTDSI will report only on (catalogued?) DASD data sets, even when the FILE operand is specified. Pity. Particularly when the allocation overrides some of the DSCB attributes, it would seem intuitive since FILE is specified that the overriding attributes rather than the DSCB attributes should be reported. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
