I'm not sure what's being asked for here. ISPF in batch is a well-documented process. I have batch ISPF jobs that run daily. You don't use separator characters. You write a Rexx that issues ISPF commands in sequence. You can edit or use virtually any ISPF function--such as table management--that's available interactively.

And ";" is too useful as a text character to waste as a separator. There's no character on my keyboard(s) that I deem expendable. I have separator set to "¾", which I ignore. The inability to protect the seperator character in a delimited string is a serious deficiency, IMO. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
