This is WAD. You read something empty, then REXX processes stops. >Mystery resolved! Good! One riddle solved in 2015! ;-) Anyways, I don't believe member stats have any influence in reading and writing of members in PDS. In fact, I have several REXX programs in Batch Jobs reading/writing members as generated by IEBGENER for example (which caused no member stats to be written at all, since AFAIK, IEBGENER does not update member stats) AFAIK, Member stats are ONLY used by ISPF and other products (if they are designed to do that stats).
