It's kind of hard to believe that there would be any left around without one. Let's see if I can still read the code: 0000 7512 DCN 12 0001 7712 4000 FNC 4000,12 0003 7712 0001 FNC 1,12 0005 7712 1100 FNC 1100,12 0007 2000 0160 LDC 160 0011 7412 ACN 12 0012 7112 0015 IAM 0015,12 Which looks sort of reasonable except for the 224 character record length on what's being read. Do you know what system this was set up to deadstart? IIRC, we used some of the 6683 "don't care" bits in the FNC's to set indicators for the deadstart program. Cheers, Chuck
