I was thinking that for most programmers doing: //STEP EXEC PGM=MYPGM,PARM='PARMS'
is more "intuitive" than: //STEP EXEC PGM=CNTRLPGM,PARM='MYPGM,PARMS' But the reality of the situation is that I'm unlikely to actually implement anything. We don't use HLASM around here very much any more. Just COBOL. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
