On the other hand.... Forget my earlier lame suggestion. As a couple of other people have already pointed out, calling BPXWDYN is the way to go. It will do exactly what you need. You should be able to call it directly from your COBOL program. Or, you could call it from your Rexx program, which you might want to have available for other programs to call, from a variety of environments - TSO, MVS batch, or USS. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
