Why not get a zAAP and use Java? Java is not really all that bad to program it. And the compiler is "free" as is the run time (JVM). Now, without a zAAP, forget it. It is CPU intensive (compared to COBOL or PL/I). The current COBOL can INVOKE a JAVA class. -- 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.
