That should work OK, provided you have the OpenExtensions stuff in z/OS set up correctly. If you still have the version of the code that uses the normal open/read/write/close stuff, you might try it out to see if it works -- no need to create any more Franken-apps (applications calling subroutines in multiple languages) than absolutely necessary. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
