Also, I'll recommend generating the daily JCL from a fixed template. Genearating each day's from the previous increases the risk that an error once introduced will long persist. The Rexx DATE(,,) function has great facilty for date formatting/conversion. The grievous lack is of any support in Rexx for UTC and timezones. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
