Maybe the confusion comes from the (mis)assumption that PDSESSHRING(EXTENDED) needs a CF. It needs XCF and GRS and both XCF and GRS don't need a CF, they are equally happy with CTC connectivity.

Maybe, but only for PDSESHARING(NORMAL). PDSESHARING(EXTENDED) requires XCF as well as GRS connectivity. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ******************************************************** For information, services and offers, please visit our web site: http://www.klm.com.
