The quotes had to be around the GDG DSN in the VOL=(,RETAIN,REF='gdg.dsn(0)')
Go figure - hoping they take an apar on that as the syntax error message was totally worthless. I also found a RESGDG keyword but could not find any explanation of what it does? Another Question: Is there a way to serialize multiple COPY's within a PROCESS? -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lionel B.

It is not documented in the C:D manuals (at naming conventions and syntax diagram for VOL=) or I missed that somewhere. Where dsn (lowercase) is documented, no mentioning of quotes are stated.
