Walter, I think you left out one step in your note: LISTSERV wrote back to you saying something like "for security reasons you must confirm this command, reply back to this note with 'OK'" etc. There's the problem -- commands that use a DD don't work when confirmed (because only the command is confirmed -- the DD isn't saved for that time, and when the command runs it says "hey, where's my data?"). So, to fix this, send the job again putting PW=xxxxxx onto the JOB line, at the end, where the x's represent your password of course, i.e. QUIET ADD listname DD=X IMPORT PW=blurfl Norm -- Visualize whirled peas.
