I am an automation administrator with regrettably zero assembler programming skills, and tend to use such Rexx calls to alleviate the painful process of MVS command output parsing to get information, if available, when I can. Would I use the CSVAPF service (or IOCINFO, or UCBSCAN, or ...) if it were available as a Rexx function? In a heartbeat. Do I believe IBM will spend time, effort, and money on such an endeavor? It seems unlikely. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
