In the interest of full disclosure, folks have tried for years to get us to open up the low-level API into SFS. The trouble is that it is extremely complex and was never *designed* to be public. It was *designed* to be used by the CMS filesystem. Hence, there is no nice SFS API Reference and User Guide laying around and no test cases to drive it sans CMS filesystem. In other words, bringing the SFS low-level API into the light would cost a lot of money with no measurable return on that investment. Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott
