But I fell into this discussion using SORT as an example, and replies took that as the goal. What I mean to ask is, how can I invoke an arbitrary utility or load module (not just SORT) associating all its files with Rexx stems, not just data sets. SORT allows this because of the I/O exits; many utilities (other than HLASM) have no similar facility. BPXWUNIX supports this, but only for for UNIX utilities and three customary files. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
