Will the programmers always understand the implications of switching from SHR(1,3) to SHR(4,3)? Given the requirements you provided, this should work but at some point, they may change the logic. Have you considered using EXCI from the batch programs? This would eliminate the need for SHR(4,3) but might require CICS system changes. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
