this works for me (only the '[' and ']' isn't necessary). one thing
comes to mind; you realise MIKEYBOY.USERDEV is TEMP? as in 'is gone'
when the job completes... if you need to use the file after
job-competion, a !SAVE MIKEYBOY.USERDEV might be the way to go... or if
it's an old file you need to use a file-equation (something like:
!file f=MIKEYBOY.USERDEV,old
!echo test >>*f
)
