Thanks Jon.  I'm on 7.1, but I do not have that PTF.  I'll see if I can get it installed.

Thanks

My best guess at this time Bob is that you're missing the PTF that enables *ALL usage.

You don't say what release you are on so I'll just link you too the RPG Cafe page that lists them: http://ibm.biz/rpg_full_alias_and_easier_ds_io
