Lizette, Thanks for the response. That was what I was afraid of when I couldn't find anything in the manuals. I like the idea of trapping the command with AF/Operator and will do some playing there.

Or prohibit the use of the $E command against anything but print. Or have AF/OPER test to see if it is something NOT CICS. Only option I would see might be to cycle JES however that can be distruptive or may not work. But there is not CANCEL $E command avaialble.
