I did this once on CMS for a cross-assembler for a proprietary microprocessor. We controlled the cross-assembler; we could provide the API. The ISV language's debugger allowed Rexx to access assembler symbols.
We didn't use CMS Pipelines, but I could imagine a Pipeline connector as another such API. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
