I believe the author was a UNIX-oriented developer, perhaps daunted by the co-requisite for allocation. But that was done for cp(1) and a few other functions: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSLTBW_2.1.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r1.bpxa500/usmd.htm And it was done as a function package, so SIGNAL ON NOTREADY is not supported. A programmer might kludge SYSCALL PIPE and cp to get a streamable file file descriptor file. I understand that compiled Rexx supports ANSI stream I/O for Classic data sets but not for UNIX files. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
