It can account for each image invoked. Just do SET ACCOUNTING/ENABLE=IMAGE. Then you can use standard ACCOUNTING commands to examine/analyze the data. The command to turn it off is (naturally) SET ACCOUNTING/DISABLE=IMAGE. BEWARE: This produces LOTS of accounting records. Don't leave it enabled for a long period of time, particularly if you are short of disk space. Doug
