That looks right, yes. I have a PDF copy in my library. However I don't think I ever saw it in this context; maybe I'll benefit by reading elsewhere in the "z/OS Communications Server" library, now that you've pointed me to it.
If I do, I may find the answer to my question. But probably not; this is about z/OS. What I'm asking about is what calls exist to do the same sort of operations on other platforms than the mainframe and from other languages than REXX. --- Bob Bridges, robhbrid...@gmail.com, cell 336 382-7313 /* Our prayers may be awkward.
