SRPI? That's a 3270 interface, completely unsuitable to modern networks. It was designed to support client-server back when the 3270 connection was the ONLY connection to the mainframe. I'm confused by the RPC+LE remark. What problems have you encountered? We've written many test programs in C on CMS using the SMAPI RPC calls. Alan Altmark Sr. Software Engineer IBM z/VM Development
