Brian,

Is there an END missing from your first request, or am I just blind and can't see it? There should be one at the end of the first TABLE FILE request.

Regards,
Mika

Is there a mainframe FOCUS restriction on the number of characters of a filename, 8 perhaps?

Francis,

I don't believe that is the problem as I've used filenames with more characters than USEDETHOLD in the past that worked.

Do you have your HOLDMAST ALLOCated?? MASTER???

HOLD masters are written to HOLDMAST unless that PDS is concatenated to MASTER DDNAME and you do not have write permissions to the MASTER PDS. Should be separate DDNAME's...

On an IBM mainframe a DDNAME can be from one to eight characters long, so I'm not sure how a hold file name of more than eight characters would work...

Gonna throw out some stuff here - justtrying ot help.
Place an end before ON TABLE HOLD AS USEDETHOLD
Also,mainframe did have an 8 character name restriction at one point. I thought that was to be extended to 16 but not sure on that one.

I would break up the code step by step and see where code works and when it stops.
I have not used tso/mvs in over 10 years (shh dont tell anyone-lol) but here goes my .02

try a ? tso ddname to see what you allocated..
assume nothing is allocated automatically
did you allocate your own sorting space? did you allocate enough?
curious if you tried only dynam concat on say 5 datasets (i know you are nowhere near the limit. But I always try to get small stuff to work then expand. How about shortening the 'where' list. these are some basics that you may have already tried.

if you place a -exit after -remote end. do you get results or error message? if results, then go to next step and stop job there, etc...

Are you not passing the request to wfserver DBWFRKV2 to create the HOLD file with -REMOTE BEGIN and then returning to the default wfserver.

Since the default server will not have the same filesystem you will have to copy the hold file and master from the remote server or extend the -REMOTE END

Hammo1j is on the right track. What you need it to change ON TABLE HOLD AS USEDETHOLD to ON TABLE PCHOLD AS USEDETHOLD - this sends the hold file back to the "host" system. You are executing code in a REMOTE environment. When it finishes you just hold the file which holds it on that remote environment. Then you try to run a fex on the local system against data on the remote system - won't happen. The on table pchold when used with the -REMOTE execution sends the data and MFD back to the "calling" or "host" environment so you can do further processing.

Darin
