Thanks. Will do. I don't see any great need to change the macro itself. It's not the only macro in MVS where you need to specify something that could possibly be inferred instead. There is something to be said for consistent defaults, even when the default for X= could have been made dependent on the value specified for Y=. Certainly easier to implement.
In answer to your other question (and keeping it on this main thread) yes, I am pretty confident I want/need COMMON rather than SHARED. I would be happy to explain the application off-line.

By all means ask that the doc for REQUEST=DETACH make it clear that you must specify this, and ask that the doc for REQUEST=DETACH,AFFINITY= be fixed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
