Part of the standard install of DFSORT (and I would guess SYNCSORT as well) include suggestions like these:
-- Make IEBGENER an alias for the sort product's GENER. -- Create a user-defined alias for DFP IEBGENER. They suggest IBMGENER, but it does not matter. -- Tell the sort product to use 'IBMGENER' (or other alias) to find the DFP version. Since the sort product will call the DFP version by a different name if needed, no recursion occurs. . .

But when ICEGENER needs to switch back (why?) how does it avoid recursively invoking itself. Is there another poorly publicized alias to the original IEBGENER? I've also heard of another ISV product, SYNCGENR. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
