Gil, You might be able to solve your problem like this: (Note: JCL not tested, may need tweaking)
//GENER EXEC PGM=IEBUPDTE,PARM=NEW //SYSPRINT DD DUMMY //SYSUT2 DD DISP=(,PASS),... alloc your temp PDS //SYSIN DD * ./ADD NAME=PROGRAM <your REXX Exec goes here> /* //REXX EXEC PGM=IRXJCL,PARM=PROGRAM //SYSEXEC DD DISP=(OLD,PASS),DSN=*.GENER.SYSUT2 For more information on using referbacks in JCL, please dust off the JCL Reference Manual.

Right. And how may the programmer refer in one step to a PDS, and in another to one of its members? I regularly do: //GENER EXEC PGM=IEBGENER //SYSUT2 DD DISP=(,PASS),DSN=&&SYSEXEC(PROGRAM),... //SYSUT1 DD * ... //REXX EXEC PGM=IRXJCL,PARM=PROGRAM //SYSEXEC DD DISP=(OLD,PASS),DSN=&&SYSEXEC Can I do the equivalent with a system-assigned data set name? -- 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
