Nancy,

*NEITHER* ECHO nor CONSOLE are listed as scoped to the datasession.

So could it be that they are effectively noop if used within a datasession??? The book doesn't say (at least not in the expected place).

good luck,

Would the datasession my watchpoints on SET('CONSOLE') and SET('ECHO') be different? I never mess with datasessions, never had a reason to fiddle with them since private ds and buffering, etc, work fine...
