But might this be because the ISPF developers recognized that '&' symbolics would be elaborated by CLIST but not by Rexx and made a misguided attempt to make the Rexx behavior superficially more CLIST-like by processing Rexx command strings in a front-end? Did they break an API to offset their misunderstanding of Rexx? What's the behavior when the macro is written in Assembler/ PL/I/C using the CALL interface? -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
