Paolo, thanx for the hint with the VALIDATE parameter. I'll try it today and let you know if it worked.
Thanx also to all the others who answered. Greets, Ranko -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Paolo Cacciari [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Gesendet: Donnerstag, 9.

The HCD could be the issue here. As my co-worker indicated there is an apar fixing a problem but this is with devices other then IBM´s. Please see OW49355 for more information on the RDFEAT setting. You can try using the Validate parameter withe the Devserv command to reset the setting.
