Yes, but if you use the SYSOUT keyword then you don't need to reallocate SYSPRINT in the first place. > Is it necessary to CLOSE a file before REUSing it? I'm pretty sure that it is necessary. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

(DISP(MOD) if it had been a data set.) Is it necessary to CLOSE a file before REUSing it?

Does OUTTRAP work with DSN(*)? -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
