Well ... everyone was saying "use WAKEUP" and that's good advice, but I prefer to start with Pipelines. Pipes would catch all those messages you're interested in. Your EXEC would look something like ... /* REXX */ 'CP SET IMSG IUCV' 'PIPE STARMSG | REXX MYTHING' And then MYTHING REXX might begin as ... /* REXX */ Do Forever 'PEEKTO RECORD' /* examine the record, but do not consume it */ If rc ^= 0 Then Leave /* parse the variable "record" and figger things out */ 'READTO' /* now consume that record and loop to get another */ End You can do all of this with WAKEUP. The calling semantics are different. -- R; <><
