Thanks, Bob. I haven't used WAKEUP for many years, so I'll try it.

Absolutely,
        Use the WAKEUP module.

        I have a program that waits for reader files and messages. The
waiting part looks like: 


        do forever
                'WAKEUP +30 (RDR IUCVMSG'
                saverc = rc
                select
                        when saverc = 4 then 
                                "process reader file"
                        when saverc = 5 then
                                "process a message"
                                
You might want to change the +30 if all it does is wait for reader
files. See HELP WAKEUP for details
