If I remember correctly, CBFORMAT is one of those services which gives you access to IP CBFORMAT. It should be documented in the IPCS Customization. An important IPCS exit service is NOTE which should be used to display lines. Using non-IPCS macros may appear to work, they are not compatible with all environments. For instance, WTO will display the line on the TSO terminal but in batch but will not display in the ISPF IPCS dialog. You should avoid exec and "STACK service" (which I believe is "TSO/e STACK service"). If you are familiar with REXX, think about the problems in using push/pull to communicate. My suggestion is to REXX execs. When an IPCS exit is needed, then use the IPCS equate service to pass information back to the REXX exec which will use IP LISTSYM to grab the information. It still processes after the command finishes but without the TSO stack pitfalls.It also allows you to issue commands not supported by exit services and you SYSOUTTRAP output generated by IPCS commands (If I remember correctly). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
