Or perhaps not, given IBM's reply. And given that IBM is working on it, I would move on to other things and let IBM work on it.
The answer is still not BSAM programming or zapping.

The questions should be "how do we correct our error and read the data?" and not "how do we zap the data to make it fit our model of correct?" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
