I believe you said that you tested _BPXK_AUTOCVT=NO but this only overrides BPXPRM so we don't expect it to change anything but it does verify your startup scripts do not set this incorrectly. This only leaves the shell which must have been compiled with AUTOCVT. Try setting the runtime variable you mentioned before but I suspect you might need to start the shell after setting it. You could do this by setting the env variable and issuing the shell command you are using (e.g sh). There is overhead associated with autocvt. You will need to contact IBM to find out if they have an easy method to turn this off for the shell. Maybe they have the same shell by another name without AUTOCVT. Think twice about renaming it because maintenance could cause havoc. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
