It is best to use as close to identical MF=E and MF=L expansions as possible. That can be a bit tricky if you don't know ahead of time how many message lines you're going to need. The limit for a non-privileged caller is 10 btw. I also feel honor bound to point out that the IEZWPL mapping is (to be charitable) extremely misleading. If you're going to build your own expansion you will need to study the actual WTO macro expansion rather than relying on IEZWPL. Try "WTO TEXT=(...) with one, then two and then three message lines and you will fairly quickly get the gist of it. -- This email might be from the artist formerly known as CC (or not) You be the judge. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
