Jim, I think you problem is the specification of the "GMC" File Access Code. The proper way to code a FAC in a FILELIST is: *+ fac= item,item,...}{,HIDE=item,item,...}{,PW=xxxx} Please note that the sequence is "Star-Plus-Space-<facname>-Equal-Space", this is a requirement of the FAC processor (LSVCKFAC EXEC). Also, if you want a FAC to cross multiple lines, you need to start each line with the "*+ fac= " intro. If you need any more help, drop me a line.
