I'll see what I can do; things tend to be busy enough around here that trying to get someone to take time to play probably won't fly. In any case, I need to restate what I was trying to say, because I think I got two posts from the "PARM" thread mixed up. I don't doubt that most of our programmers can invoke a COBOL program via a CALL statement, but I do doubt that most of them know they can run a batch COBOL program through TSO.
I'm not trying to denigrate the abilities of our programmers, either; most of them simply have too much to do to be able to take time to do anything beyond simply getting their assignments done. Jon <snip> Humor me. Take this snippet to some of your COBOL programmers, good and bad, and ask them if they can write a program that will invoke it. </snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
