Since CALL statement does not search in ISPLLIB path, I am getting an error "Module not found." I cannot set STEPLIB in my logon procedure. What I do right now is go to READY prompt, use TSOLIB command and then comeback to ISPF and start my application. Is there anyway that I can set my TSO executable library to point to my personal dataset and invoke the ISPF application without going to the READY prompt always?" >> For Mark's response, click: http://search390.techtarget.com/ateQuestionNResponse/0,289625,sid10_cid595911_tax287555,00.html?track=NL-170&ad=487458 ____________________________________________________________________ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= :::::::::: DON'T MISS THESE IMPORTANT MESSAGES AND LINKS ::::::::: =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= NEWS | zSeries defies industry, maintains revenue growth Although some doubted it could happen, IBM has been able to maintain impressive growth in its mainframe division. >> Click here: http://search390.techtarget.com/originalContent/0,289142,sid10_gci994235,00.html?track=NL-170&ad=487458 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= DOWNLOAD | Free download from "Linux on the Mainframe" "Linux on the Mainframe" is one of the definitive books on the topic.

This fall, Duke University is doling out free iPods to incoming freshmen. This isn't just about downloading Strokes songs -- Duke iPods will also carry important school info and will have the ability to download academic content, as well as the all-important school fight song. At the very least, the frosh freebies could deter Duke's basketball recruits from jumping directly to the NBA, which only offers newcomers millions of dollars. >> Click: http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=562&ncid=738&e=12&u=/ap/20040720/ap_on_hi_te/college_ipods >> Want to hear more offbeat tales from the world of information technology?
