In that context name/token has a complication - the last time I looked, simply calling the name/token services needed some writeable storage to create the parameter list, which is a bit tricky if you don't yet know where your working storage is. I can think of ways to do it, but none that I would be really happy with. Not that that makes TCBUSER a better choice. I think I would stick to simply obtaining and releasing the storage each time the function was called. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
