The OK confirmation is only sent when you have selected "Validate= ...,NoPW", which effectively disables password validation for this list. >Also, is it necessary to include the password on every request sent as >part of a single mailing or can I just put it on the first request line? It should be either on every command, or on the JOB card (if you have one). Automatically transferring passwords from one command to another would be BAD security. Eric
