It's possible the OP wants to pass values between steps. The guaranteed way to do that is with a temporary data set. There was s discussion here lately of environment variables. Questions I never saw clearly answered: o Are environment variables available to any program, regardless of language? o Do they require LE or C RTL? o Do they endure from step to step? o Are they rooted with WXTRN environ and structured as in POSIX? -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
