Should point out that </QDLS.LIB> might not have been exactly 'wrong'. AFAIK, 
that's a perfectly valid directory name. Why should OS/400 "know" it was wrong? 

The error would have been that you didn't *OMIT </QDLS> and thereby mixed file 
systems inappropriately.

I guess my point is that understanding the error message means understanding 
what SAV is capable of and understanding how IFS file systems fit together. No 
small task because the IFS is a pretty slick deal overall. If we all had the 
IFS down pat, we'd have all seen the error immediately.

I sure missed it for too long.
