I hate to say this, but you need a better understanding of what you are reading -- Icbo IS a standard term whose definition you should know before reading a databook. Also, all of the measurement conditions (from which you can devine the circuit) are also given, namely, Vcb = 200V. It's like complaining that a recipe doesn't define 'tsp' -- if you don't know, you shouldn't be reading the recipe! Rich
