That EXEC is a REXX program, which I am fairly certain is meant to be run on CMS, not z/Linux. Just from looking at the comments in it, it places files into the z/VM reader so that you can IPL from the READER (usually 00C). This is sort of the equivalent of booting from a USB stick, or LiveCD. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
