Well, I can certainly agree with that! That's why my CGI uses ISPF. It is simple and easy to understand what I am doing. I could code the equivalent IGGCSI00 call directly in REXX, but (at least to me) the IGGCSI00 is very difficult to understand. However, for this one case, I really doubt that IBM is ever going to change how ISPF statistics are kept. It would cause great screams in the user community. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
