To my surprise the 'listf ,9' command kept reporting that record 0 of the file was being read while GLANCEXL kept reporting an ever increasing record number (See below). Any Ideas? Regards Paul H.

That is the "M" next to IN in the Access column in Glance. Glance accurately reports the record pointer of mapped files, but I'll assume LISTF, 9 isn't quite smart enough to figure out mapped files. However I wish Glance had enough smarts to give accurage record pointer information for KSAM/XL files. Mike Berkowitz Guess? Inc.
