>Thee is an obvious need for lifting the 100-byte limit on parms, but it needs to be done in a way that allows old programs to continue to work.
100 bytes is only a limit for programmes called through JCL. If a programme calls another, with standard linkage, the length can be a lot longer. I don't know what the limit is, but I've called with up to 750 bytes. - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
