Rich, It works for me: (We are on MPEX VERSION 26N70813) calc vefinfo("ABC18.DB").DBSETENTRIES 8712547, $84F163, %41170543, #132/#61795, "...c" Based on the dataset name you seem to have more than 99 datasets. It may be case that MPEX has a problem with that?

I have used the following on regular datasets but JUMBO seems to be a problem. Thanks. Example when running MPEX: SETVAR DISC_NUM=VEFINFO ("HEALTHF0.DATA").DBSETENTRIES Thanks. Richard S.
