The Ref. pretty much states that Binder performs no search of a UNIX SYSLIB, rather it extracts the SYSLIB path (SVC 99?) and appends the member name. (The Ref. neglects to mention an intervening '/'.) Three grists for the RFE mill: o UNIX directories in SYSEXEC. o UNIX directories in STEPLIB. (How about //PDSE in PATH!?) o Concatenated UNIX directories in Binder SYSLIB. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
