>JCL SET? Where is its behavior inconsistent? It's not SET that's inconsistent, it's support for it in SMP/E. There are places in SMP/E jobs that can't use symbols. So you can't just have a chunk at the top that job where you fill in values-you have to tour the job and fix it 27 times (OK, not 27, that's just a number I made up). When I deliver the product to the customers, I'd like them to be able to just change stuff in ONE place per job. Otherwise they can (AND DO) miss a few, leading to hilarity. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
