And all of those are relatively simple "atomic" changes with few if any negatives, and "goodness" that transcends JCL replacement.

A procedural replacement for JCL has all sorts of issues, regardless of syntax. Instead, why not 1. Enhance Dynalloc to have a parallel allocation function. 2. Enhance IRXJCL to allow a script in a sequential dataset. 3. Enhance REXX to support parallel allocation. The installation could then provide custom procedures for invoking IRXJCL ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
