It does seem odd that the CALL command would simply hang. But yes, I believe that LINKMVS will work in cases where CALL won't. I also believe that Dave meant "I was told by IBM that I _have_ ISRSUPC in SYS1.LPALIB, rather than _don't have_. CALL expects to find its target in the standard library search order (Tasklib (including STEPLIB/JOBLIB), Linklist) and I do not think it will find a module that is only in LPA. LINKMVS (also LINK, LINKPGM, and probably the ATTACH variants) will find things that are only in LPA, and I believe that explains why LINKMVS worked for him. -- Walt ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
