Which you didn't. But that was TSO. >For ALLOCATE see here: >https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/2.5.0?topic=command-allocate-operands > Those developers don't talk to each other, do they? I thought that DSNTYPE=HFS was used only to create a HFS "aggregate" (? whatever) and is superfluous (should be mutex) when specifying PATH. And there is no similar JCL option for zFS -- you need to use IDCAMS. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
