Assuming no problem with the database itself (maybe a "REFRESH list" might need to be done?), try adding CPULIM= to your JOB card: The CPULIM keyword The amount of CPU time that a database search job may use is, by default, limited to 60 seconds. The amount of work that can be done in this time depends on the CPU model of course. You can raise or lower this limit by means of the CPULIM= keyword, whose exact syntax is: CPULIM=<mm:>ss The search job is aborted (with a partial output being returned to you) if this limit is exceeded. It appears that the MLA-L for November had 12.8 k lines. -- co-owner INFOSYS, TQM-L, CPARK-L, ERAPPA-L, JANITORS, LDBASE-L, et -L [log in to unmask] "Helping U fulfill your e-mail needs" +1 814 863 1843 31 Shields Bldg. -- Penn State Univ -- University Park, PA 16802-1202 USA
