So:
RECEIVE the FUNCTION(s) RECEIVE the PTFs and HOLDDATA APPLY SELECT(FMID(s)) GROUPEXTEND. (or, does shopZ actually preclude that, as you seem to be saying. That would be a defect, perhaps not APARable, but at least subject to RFE or Requirement. For a properly designed shopZ, it should suffice to have the FMID in the GLOBAL zone; no requirement for its presence in the TZONE.) -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
