Hi Shmuel,

You cannot count on makers of modern, ported tools to know about punch card 
images. When I first ran NetRexx with JCL the same thing happened to me as 
Peter now experienced. Fortunately, TRACE RESULTS took care of that immediately 
- but shell users are not so lucky. 
Always UNNUM the member, but even better, just read from a file that you know 
to work from the USS shell.

Best regards,

René.
