We used to have a setup like this where the PROFILE EXEC of SFS1 would access its directory in SFS2 and refer to that file mode on the DMSPARMS. My problem with that was that when SFS2 was restarted for some reason, the directory was released in SFS1 and nothing would help access it (apart from poking in SFS control blocks to issue a CMS command to fix it). Sue pointed out that the proper way is to refer to the SFS directory rather than the file mode. So the only thing to take care of is that you schedule the control data backup often enough that it does not happen by accident when you have the other SFS down for service. Rob
