I was actually just about to say FIN is really Fixed IF Next when your message came in.
I've never seen a RET, DU*, or USE. In general, our service folks don't actually open an APAR until we understand the issue. If we accidentally open one (or change our mind), we usually CANcel the APAR with an explanation that the APAR was opened in error. Now that I think about it, I have seen SUG but never actually used it myself.

(Yeah, that's probably sorta dead, but I remember IBM being VERY VERY clear about that in the years immediately after the consent decree.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
