I've noticed that when the "dasdfmt" program formats a "cdl" volume, there is one thing "missing". DS1LSTAR is not set. Is this "by design" or just because it was too much of a bother to put it in there?
The only thing that this would get me would be the ability to use "ftp" on MVS to send the entire partition to another site (of course, it had better not be mounted to Linux during the "ftp" process). It would also allow a very easy "copy" using ICEGENER. But I guess using DFDSS or FDR to do the copy is just as easy. More just curiousity on my part than any real need. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer UICI Insurance Center Applications & Solutions Team +1.817.255.3225 This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its' content is protected by law.
