'foo' say look for a System Symbol named FOO. There is no such Symbol on my system. sysname = 'foo' ............................................................................... ................................................... Say MVSVAR('SYMDEF','sysname') SYS0 ............................................................................... ................................................... If it's in quotes then it's used as is. It's a name. REXX substitution means to convert any variables to their assigned values. Say 'Value =' MVSVAR('SYMDEF',sysname) Value = ............................................................................... ................................................... sysname is a variable with a value of 'foo' so SYMDEF looks for System Symbol "foo" not SYSNAME. -- Dale R.
