I'd answer if I could find where in sys$common and sys$specific they are... DCLTABLES is an executable. It's a mapped image section. It's name is DCLTABLES.EXE and it should be in the common root of SYS$LIBRARY. Thus, you should be looking in SYS$COMMON:[SYSLIB]. If you have DCLTABLES.EXE in SYS$SPECIFIC:[SYSLIB], strange things (ie. unpredictable results) can occur when products add their command definitions to DCLTABLES.EXE. -- VAXman- A Bored Certified VMS Kernel Mode Hacker VAXman(at)TMESIS(dot)ORG Well I speak to machines with the voice of humanity.
