Well, the only thing that comes to my mind is to run an HLASM program within your REXX code which would test the CIB chain (QEDIT macro) and, if one exists, process the first MODIFY command and return the parameters from it in REXX variables. You will likely need to have another HLASM program to set the address space up to accept MODIFY commands in the first place. Thinking more about it, I might look at running an HLASM program as the "main routine" so that it can set up the environment properly as well as set up a SUBCOM environment. It would then invoke the IRXEXEC program to set up and run the REXX code. The REXX code could then use the "ADDRESS xyz" to get any pending data sent via the MODIFY command and process it. You could also use this same functionality to write to the operator console. The above is not simple. I am not aware of any "builtin" REXX facilities for z/OS console communications. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer UICI Insurance Center Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its' content is protected by law.
