Well, as you may know I'm not very patient and MAILBOOK LISTSERV takes 2 minu tes on this system so I "omitted" to forward the original piece of mail... Sorry for that, will teach me :-) /Eric *---------------------- Original Message -------------------------------------* I am trying to operate a list VECTOR-L (which I 'OWN') on CANADA01 from a remote MVS machine. As my first act I am trying to register an alternate owner (my TSO id). Since our local mail system will not do a SENDFILE from a mail id I have to use batch. The LISTSERV machine rejects the following, saying STORE is not a command. (The first two lines are the code to make it leave here). Doing an ADD in this way seems to work. What am I doing wrong. Thanks....
