No Martin. What I am trying to reference a comment block in a rexx program. The SOURCELLNIE() function does work, including if program is compiled. Still have a problem with some odd number of '/*' or '*/' that may be included in the text, but I can manage that by replacing it the another pair of characters.
The idea came from a previous discussion about new installation functions in SMP/E and the discussion about why mainframe installer can't work like hose of M$. So my test shows it can. I wrote a Rexx self contained extruct installer program. During compiler phase, xmt format files are included into the program with some identification to help the installer find them. when you start the program, it will create some files in XMT format and expand them according to instructions given in the program (it opens an edit session where the fields are marked as input and output). works nice for me.
