Thanks to all who replied. Our dilemma is that we still supply our software on 3480s! We've got a new z9 and a 3490 drive and thought going to 3490Es was right - most customers could read them. Not sure if they can all read 3590Es. admil.co.uk say they can't get them. Still awaiting reply from

Well, the way I see it, they had a whole lot of different modules reading PARMLIB that they needed to convert to using system symbols. The use of a substitution routine that did not cause the record to be extended, this probably save an enormous amount of work. You see very clearly. That is

Determination of the Correct ESM Id

If you only need a unique reference id, then I would format your 12 byte field something like: 1. Region id (4 bytes - unique to each CICS) 2. Date-time (4 bytes - bits 0 - 31 of TOD, I'd use use STCKF) 3. Counter (4 bytes - local to each CICS, no need for remote access) |--STCKE--|
