This is useful in the API to such as ISPF Edit which prohibits '.' in variable names. What about: 'EXECIO 3 DISKR ddname (STEM X.Y.Z' /* Lacks final '.' */ Does this define X.Y.Z0, X.Y.Z1, X.Y.Z2, and X.Y.Z3? Is Y substituted? -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
