That sort of approach could work. It's just the labor factor. I'm heads-down on a higher priority task. Real life is more complex than a listserve post. As things stand now, the jobs include members ABC and XYZ. Members ABC and XYZ include ABC1 and XYZ1. ABC and XYZ have some relatively constant stuff -- their main function is to provide a "subroutine-like" repository of stuff that wants to be the same in every job. ABC1 and XYZ1 are being built by a generator function. So I would have to either re-organize that (doable, but everything takes time and affects other tradeoffs) or else do the "include expansion" (with nesting) in the Rexx and do a QUEUE/SUB *. Again, do-able, but takes time. Probably the best non-kludge approach would be to get away from INCLUDE for the variable parametization. Read the jobs into the Rexx. Insert a bunch of SET symbols or whatever solves the problem directly with Rexx, and do QUEUE/SUB *.

The total run-time for the 70 jobs is probably two hours >(the three hour total includes think and edit time). I have a question. From your description, you are submitting the JCL (which has a INCLUDE card), updating the contents of the INCLUDE'ed member and submitting the JCL again (doing the Update/Submit process 69 times for a total of 70 Jobs). Why not just have your generator create 70 INCLUDE Members. Then submit the JCL 70 times while referencing a different INCLUDE member ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
