Yes, that would work. > Could one use EXECIO in a Rexx EXEC, in which case no > source data set whatever is necessary? This depends on > whether EXECIO tolerates DSORG=DA. Perhaps EXECIO always uses SAM (to an OS non-VSAM data set anyway), so DSORG=DA in the VTOC entry should present no problem. > If IEBGENER works at all, presumably one could write an > EXEC with a POSIX pipe allocated as IEBGENER's SYSUT1, > and again avoid the need for a source data set. Quite likely. Or one could use a data generation utility like IEBDG as Ewald suggested. There are so many options I'm surprised the OP had any problem at all. :) Cheers, Greg P. > -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
