IRXEXCOM provides external access to Rexx variables. Is there any similar access to HLASM SETC or EQUated symbols? I suspect not -- macros are read too early. Perhaps AINSERT/COPY to invoke Rexx at a useful time. Or code evaluated symbols as arguments. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
