True but not in this case. TRACKV52 VMARC is a good ol' VMARC file plain and simple - FIXED 80 records. I don't COPYFILE (PACK it because it only adds noise to the process and usually doesn't help much; VMARC does a nice compaction job. FWIW, I tweaked the instructions on the download page a little to hopefully help in understanding how to handle the file. _______________________________________ James Vincent Systems Engineering Consultant Nationwide Services Co., Technology Solutions Mainframe, z/VM and z/Linux Support One Nationwide Plaza 3-20-13 Columbus OH 43215-2220 U.S.A Voice: (614) 249-5547 Fax: (614) 677-7681 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
