This will not help. I don't know how LINKMVS is implemented but from the word LINK in its name I would comclude that it is supposed to work like the LINK SVC: Load-give control-delete. A fresh copy would be loaded in every case. Create a second module. The one called from REXX is trying to read a Name/Token pair. If not found, it loads the second module and stores its entry point address in the above mentioned Name/Token pair. The first module will then find the Name/Token pair on subsequent calls and can branch directly to the already loaded module. If, what I conlcude from your initial post, your current implementation requires an OPEN and a CLOSE call, then you can connect the load and N/T pair creation to OPEN and the N/T pair deletion and the unload to the CLOSE call. -- Peter Hunkeler Credit Suisse ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
