Thanks to all.. I now have it working! I modified Dave's program and then called it from batch. Then I used linkmvs from a REXX to call it for each member that I wanted processed. No sense in doing all the string manipulation and file i/o in the assembler program .. at my age and skill level too prone to error..
One last issue I had was that at first I used a string variable to my program in linkmvs.. bad idea.. the parameter list was not close to what you get coming in from JCL via exec pgm=xxx,parm='xxxx xxx' After a few trips through abend-aid I decided to do exactly what I saw in the example from MAIFRAME SUPPORTS and did this.. myparm = prm.i address linkmvs "UTL45 MYPARM" and all was good.. -don ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
