Well I have tried all sorts of settings for that but I cannot get it to work. If you place the entire DSNAME and member including brackets, then the system looks for a DSCB matching it. If you just place the member in quotes then you get a JCL error. So I don't think JCL will support it.

In JCL you can put any hexadecimal character in a dsname if you enter it between quotes. Never tried it for PDS membernames, but I suppose it will work too.

You can store non-standard member names in PDS datasets using STOW macros. IBM used to do this in the forerunner of SMP/E called SMP. They used large PDSs with member names that were unprintable hex characters. I have not found a way to reference member names that are not upper-case printable characters in JCL. But maybe someone knows better! Lennie Dymoke-Bradshaw | Security Lead | RSM Partners Ltd Web: www.rsmpartners.com ‘Dance like no one is watching.

I'm not aware standard services allow mixed case member names - but as far as I know PDS only works with IBM standard and I was not able, using PDS to create a member name with lower case. Get it and try it - it's free. So kick the tires and see if it does what you want. Lionel B. Dyck <sdg>< Website: http://www.lbdsoftware.com "Worry more about your character than your reputation.

I don't think I'd love that. Are the commands case insensitive with respect to names in the PDS directory, or only in commands? That is, suppose I have carelessly created a member name containing a lower case character, can I use the pds command to rename it to something more conventional? -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
