Smarpu2,

Are you sure that there is no comma in between the two parameters? Region and parm are 2 different parms. REGION and PARM are JCl parameters but has got nothing to do with IMS.

Check this link for detailed explanation of REGION parameter.

Check this link for detailed explanation of PARM parameter.

Hope this helps...

Sounds strange...

REGION=&PARM sounds a bit more meaningful.
