I use REXX and LISTC function. It works fine. Since you have this process in place, do you want a solution that will NOT change all of your jobs or other processes?
Or are you looking for a solution even if it requires a change to all of your jobs and other processes? I have not heard of IDCNOFGL - what is that function? A program?
