That worked perfectly. Thank you very much. It has saved me a lot of time and opened up some great possibilities now that I can alter the ID. I found that I can change it as many times as I want through the course of the task and even interrogate it and treat it as a run-time "parameter" now.
It also allowed me to check it cross system so I can tell what the ID's are of the other tasks I care about, and it turns out that if I don't like them, I can alter them as well, although I'm not sure it's a good idea to go cross system and do it, at least I know that it works. Now that I have a way to do it interactively, I need to make sure that I don't allow the user of the facility to "mis"-use it. I was thinking that it's great to have just in case (because I use IEFRDER), the user starts my task and doesn't give me a name and I end up with the Unitaddress of the IEFRDER dataset, so we can end up with several tasks with the same ID, this will allow me to keep that from happening. I have to figure some sort of default that will always make this unable to be a duplicate (or at least a lot harder to do it), but that's just a matter of thinking it through a little. Again, I really do want to thank you for this information.
