Ooppsss - forgot to mention in my previous note. SEU has always had a problem with SPECIAL-NAMES _unless_ the very first entry appears on the same line as the SPECIAL-NAMES entry itself. This is to do with the fact that it can only check the clause in context (i.e. when it _knows_ it is handling SPECIAL-NAMES). Because SEU syntax checking is effectively a line at a time, it often has this kind of problem. Witness the big green blobs you often get when entering COBOL source. I had forgotten this bug (feature) because I never use SEU unless forced to. I thought they would fix it for ILE COBOL but apparently they haven't done so. At least all of IBM's examples of it show the first entry on the same line - which is a hint!! If you ever suspect an SEU problem just throw the code at the compiler - it is the ultimate arbiter anyway! Jon Paris Partner400
