Ah. I didn't know that. So his program will need to be APF authorized. Or, he could install my "ams" UNIX program (if properly installed - which makes it APF authorized) and then invoke it via BPXWUNIX, so that it runs in a separate address space so that the APF authorization is permitted. I don't know if this would be considered "elegant" or not. IIRC, but I have a vague memory that a REXX program which is not running in TSO and which uses the "ADDRESS TSO command" statements, actually sets up a separate address space running a batch TMP and "pipes" the commands to its SYSTSIN and receives the SYSTSPRT via something like a "pipe" as well. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
