At best show some diagnostic information to diagnose the problem. But not everyone can resist the temptation... I found some code where a bright soul had put a "restart:" somewhere in the REXX program and then a "signal restart" in the "error:" handler. Unfortunately the trapped error was in a "procedure" so once the program went though that path, it continued with part of the REXX variables hidden outside the scope (but filling up memory). | Rob
