But I suspect that somehow SMP/E (or perhaps IEBCOPY) is completing without closing some DCB.

Also plenty interface coding that I'd prefer to avoid. I might just try rearranging the logic to FREE the DDNAME before waitpid for the awk process. If FREE fails (because of the suspected open DCB) I'll just "kill -TERM" the awk process. > How do you invoke GIMSMP from an exec ? Via CALL ? LINKPGM? > CALL.
