You should be able to simply follow that documentation, UNLESS your system already has an IRXFLOC module installed. The existing package tables allow for an IRXFLOC function package, which is what that tool provides. If they already have an IRXFLOC installed then you'll need to create a package table, as documented in the TSO/E REXX Reference. > The idea is to have a REXX program be able to run the CICS REXX >API.

Again, any >thoughts would be appreciated. The documentation that you referenced above is clear about where you need to put the function package they supplied. If you need a function package table it basically goes in the same place: usually the linklist, but a JOBLIB/STEPLIB could be used, or LPA. After creating the function package table you would assemble it and linkedit it into the appropriate library. Note that for use in a UNIX shell environment you'll probably need to set the STEPLIB environment variable if you're using the STEPLIB approach. If you were using batch or TSO/E you'd need a STEPLIB or JOBLIB in the JCL or logon proc. -- Walt Farrell, CISSP IBM STSM, z/OS Security Design ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
