Then again, who's to say instead of V5R1M0 it won't start saying 050100?

(for Wonderful 1?) --------------------------------- Booth Martin http://www.martinvt.com --------------------------------- -------Original Message------- From: Midrange Systems Technical Discussion Date: 12/14/04 14:14:27 To: Midrange Systems Technical Discussion Subject: Re: The Day the Music Dies (was: RE: backup spool file) You can always make a command parameter bigger. The problem is what do you do with fields for system output files. The output file for DSPOBJD has three fields, ODCPVR, ODCVRM and ODPVRM which are all six bytes long. If you change the length of these fields, this will cause logic in programs to break.

The format is VnnRnnMnn. But, as Al says, there are lots of places that use 6-character format - not the least being all the TGTRLS parameters, which are now defined as *CHAR-8.
