Hi Bob,

What about simply another internal variable, similar to say, TITLE. 
One could then code 

For Page:       EVAL PAGENUM CLIST|REXX(STO(variable_name)) 
For Line:       EVAL LINENUM CLIST|REXX(STO(variable_name))

I mean, if one could dream and hope, I would think this might be the
easiest to implement. I'm guessing here, but there's probably a table of
keywords that are looked for, like TITLE, etc, that trigger an internal
routine call rather than a read of the dump directory to satisfy the
return of the value, maybe?

Just a thought.

In any case, I can and have coded my own page logic before but in this
case, I didn't want to start the display generation on a new page, I
just wanted to generate it right in line with headers when appropriate.

Thanks for listening Bob, and the rest of the list as well.

Chuck

Sorry I misread your original post as referring to HLASM code.  It was
clear about your use of a command procedure.  I guess I heard the
question
I wanted to hear.  It finally registered when Kenneth Tomiak restated
the
context.

I can't hold out a lot of hope that we'll get this sort of thing into
the
product.  My nose would grow as I reassured someone that it would sell
an
additional zSeries or z/OS system on one.  Designing and coding an
EVALPAGE
subcommand would be a lot easier than justifying it.
