That agrees with my memory. I tried it, and it just worked. I'm not clear what you mean with "the file goes where it needs." I guess that means it ends up in the reader of the intended userid? Then the real reader logic's working and your USERID card is okay. Are you using READCARD to receive it? It appears RECEIVE no longer looks inside a plain file for a :READ card and considers it to be an unnamed file, I believe once upon a time RECEIVE would invoke READCARD for such a file, but that seems no longer to be the case. READCARD still processes the :READ record correctly, however. -- Mike Harding z/VM System Support
