Dave,

I just created a symbolic link in the manner you were requesting.

PUB.WERTH:listgroup live
Non-existent group. (CIERR 908)
PUB.WERTH:listgroup memorex
Non-existent group. (CIERR 908)
PUB.WERTH:newgroup live
PUB.WERTH:newlink /WERTH/MEMOREX,/WERTH/LIVE
PUB.WERTH:listfile /WERTH/MEMOREX,7
 ********************
 FILE: /WERTH/MEMOREX


 SYMLINK TARGET: /WERTH/LIVE
PUB.WERTH build purgeme.memorex
PUB.WERTH listf purgeme.live,2
ACCOUNT=  WERTH       GROUP=  LIVE

FILENAME  CODE  ------------LOGICAL RECORD-----------  ----SPACE----
                  SIZE  TYP        EOF      LIMIT R/B  SECTORS #X MX

PURGEME           128W  FB           0       1023   1        0  0  *


So, if you go back to your original newlink command and reverse the
parameters it should work just fine.

> > > :newlink /ACCOUNT/DATA,/ACCOUNT/DATA2

:newlink /ACCOUNT/DATA2,/ACCOUNT/DATA

HTH.

Doug.
