If a single job calls the same procedure two or more times, how does one make the "stepnames in [the] procedures called" unique? As for Kenneth T.'s diachronic defense of the deficiencies in overrides and referbacks in nested procedure calls, I perceive overrides and referbacks as so fundamental a facility in JCL that the historical justification for their omission is inadequate. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
