Darren, sounds like it's time for something drastic. How about adding some kind a dump/snap just before your call. Or my personal favorite -- simply zap the preceding instruction to x'00' and force an S0C1 (or whatever it's called in CICS). Not pretty, but generally pretty effective. Or you can try adding a WTO and wrote out the data... Rebecca

The handle is fine for calls that follow the MQXCNVC call... wonder if it is a problem passing the parameters...
