Stephanie, What you are seeing is some S/36 OCL running, I assume, in the S/36 environment of the AS/400. The OCL explanation can be found in the System/36 Environment Reference, Chp 3 - Procedure Control Expressions. This expression substitutes the actual number of data records in a database file; and has several cases where 00000000 may be substituted. They are: The file does not exist. The file does not have any members. The file is allocated exclusively to another job. The file is a job (RETAIN-J) file. LOAD and RUN can also be found in this manual (Chp 5 - OCL statements).
