However, we have run into an interesting problem that you : all may be interested in. : If you use a backreference to your ENV file, it will not work on 5.5 : but works fine on 5.0. Here's an example: : file myenv=tt22.pub.sys : file p;dev=lp;env=*myenv : listf @,2;*p : ... this fails to place an ENV file in the spoolfle. : However, it works OK on 5.0. I entered SR 4701-339614 against this problem when Mel first described it in this forum around the beginning of November. We have a patch in the works, soon to be in beta test I believe. Here (from the SR) is a possible workaround: :setvar myenv "tt22.pub.sys" :file p;dev=lp;env=!myenv Hope this helps. -Larry "MPE/iX Spoolers 'R' Us" Byler-
