If the same rexx script then does an ISPEXEC DISPLAY, the VPUT is not needed. ISPF will find the variable in the rexx's "function pool". If you want to display the value in other panels not displayed from this rexx, you'll need to VPUT... SHARED. In neither of the above cases is the VGET in the panel needed. ISPF will use the variable from the function pool, if it finds one there. Otherwise it will search the SHARED pool (then the PROFILE pool, which is not of interest here). If the panel is displayed using ISPEXEC SELECT (a selection panel), then the VPUT...SHARED is needed in the rexx code. No VGET is needed in the panel. -- Peter Hunkeler ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
