(Or do something else.) o address 'LINKMVS' invokes a program object with one (or more JCL-like PARMs. (JCL allows at most one.) o address 'LINKPGM' is close to the CALL macro interface. o address 'LINK' is sui generis. I suspect it's a residue of CMS conventions. TSO-REXX LISTSERV might correct some of my misconceptions. Is a description of REXXEXCI readily available? It seems to be a CICS thing. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
