Randy,

OK.

Since ISFC is a suffix, try:

DIRFILE=/scratch/tmp/200*.ISFC

Since the DIRFILE= stuff follows the rules for the platform it is used
on, I suspect that the file name mask is being intperpreted as
200*ISFC, like 2001172ISFC, not, 2001172.ISFC, etc.  Try the DIRFILE
I listed above.

>Tom, there is no ~/workdata/AREA1236  to copy.

My listing was meant as an example.  The steps it was meant to illustrate
were:

- create a new directory not in MCPATH

- copy an AREA file to that directory, but give it a name that has a
  suffix that is longer than 3 characters

- setup an ADDE dataset that uses a DIRFILE= with a suffix that is
  longer than 3 characters

- test access to the image in the newly created dataset

>does it matter that the files are named 20011001.ISFC  (ie., YYYYMMDD.XXXX)?

Only in so far as the suffix is longer than 3 characters.  It sholdn't
matter in the DIRFILE= keword claus for DSSERVE, but it will for
REDIRECTions.
