I finally got the programmable operator piece working. I'm a little embarrassed by my mistake. I had a misplaced RETURN command in the EXEC. I looked at the EXEC I don't know how many times and didn't see it. Do'h! Now my next opportunity. I want to take the file that was placed in the reader and receive it into a file (or a stem). To my knowledge there are at least two ways to do this. 1) the RECEIVE command (issued from an EXEC) 2) the Pipe READER FILE function both work but not the way I want. >From a REXX EXEC, I issue the RECEIVE command. It brings the RDR file in and sticks it in a file called ALL NOTEBOOK even if I specify a file_name, file_type, file_mode. >From a PIPE READER FILE function I am able to stick it in the file name, file type that I want but it is not formatted correctly(missing carriage returns and line feeds). I looked at some examples in some IBM manuals, but none touch on how to format it. Bottom line, I want it to be in the format that the RECEIVE command does but I want to give it a unique file name. The name ALL NOTEBOOK or any derivative there of is not an option. Any suggestions?
Again, TIA, Steve G.
