Thanks for the validation, Steve! :-) That is exactly what I am wanting. I'd like to be able do "something" so that an entire batch job with multiple EXEC PGM=... steps would share the same ENVAR runtime option. Is this not a reasonable thing to want? Maybe I'll open a SHARE requirement... Would you vote for it?
