Excellent catch! Thanks! I forgot about that about apostrophe inside a variable inside that line. Really confusing and certainly would trip a parser into a black hole! ;-) Ok, it is a long time ago I had to handle a similar problem where lots of apostrophes are in a parsed line. It is a real PITA to handle such characters which could throw later parsing astray. I would suggest that a parse/checking and re-parse to be run on that mtxt before passing it on to "mvs send". Thanks Shmuel for your kind and helpful reply.
