Prior to MVS-OE, there would have been DCB information in the DSCB for existing DASD data sets. There was no card-image default of RECFM and LRECL . Perhaps you're thinking of EDIT, for which there were defaults.

Does DSNTYPE(HFS) do anything, given that HFS is no longer supported? PATH for SYSEXEC used not to work.

If you have and it still doesn't work, an SR or an RFE is in order. ISPF Edit recognizes and respects CCSID tagging of UNIX files, converting to/from your terminal CCSID. -- 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
