I second Steve Comstock's suggestion to use ISPF Skeletons to submit the job, but if that is not possible, my next suggestion is to execute one Rexx exec which invokes all of the former steps of the job using LINKMVS. You will have to add all of the condition code checking, etc. in the Rexx exec to replace whatever the JCL is doing. The other option is to investigate your job scheduling package: they also can usually do job customization before submission - but typically once per day. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
