From: Mignon Erixon-Stanford, Academic Systems Head In my local sysvars, I put: filedisk = 'A5 D5' in the hopes that I could write to either the A or D disk, depending upon what was in the list header. Unfortunately, this does not work. LISTSERV doesn't complain until I change the header to write to the D disk. Any suggestions? (Obviously all my lists point to the A disk, now). =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-IRMSS907@SIVM-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Research Systems Division Smithsonian Institution, A&I 2310 Washington, DC 20560 Internet: [log in to unmask]
