John, You make it sound like Rexx and Unix are mutually exclusive. I have a Unix job that runs in production. Well, it depends on your definition of production of course. It actually runs on every system we have. It's started each midnight by CROND so definitely only has access to Unix services and it is all written in Rexx. It basically takes the SYSLOGD files (another Unix process) that are created each day in /tmp/syslog and writes them off to Jes2 spool with all the correct control info so CA-VIEW can pick them up and populate its database (with all the correct headers filled in so we can filter as we wish). We only have a short history in /tmp/syslog but as big as we like in CA-VIEW.

Other than the implicit use of UNIX by things such as FTP, I mean. In particular I am speaking of keeping production data in a UNIX file, rather than a legacy dataset; use of scripting via /bin/sh, awk, or other, use of any of the BPX* UNIX callable services. Just curious. I use awk at times for doing stuff in my personal activities. But my manager dislikes UNIX so I can't use it in any of my "production" jobs because "nobody knows UNIX" and "everybody knows REXX". -- People in sleeping bags are the soft tacos of the bear world.
