The book is at: http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/BPXZB680/6.0 RC=20 means "invalid parameter list". Also in the book: <quote> Dynamic allocation provides message text for failed allocation requests. It is usually easier to use this message text rather than decode allocation return codes. BPXWDYN can return these messages to a REXX program. By default, the messages are returned in the S99MSG. stem. S99MSG.0 contains the number of messages and S99MSG.1 through S99MSG.n contain the message text. </quote> http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/BPXZB680/6.5 -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets® 9151 Boulevard 26 .
