It is free to use and trivial to install with a register-free download. https://dovetail.com/products/cozbatch.html You are correct: you don't need an LE environment to use the BPXxxxx kernel service calls. REXX doesn't have/use an LE environment AFAIK. I don't know much about the System REXX environment, but I would assume kernel service calls would work fine. The REXX SYSCALL environment uses these, so I'm not sure why it wouldn't work. I would ask this on MVS-OE; Bill Schoen might see it there and clarify.

The last change to Co:Z Batch was a few years ago when we added support for JES System symbols. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
