You want to use fetch, PL/Is version of dynamic call. Look up the fetch statement and the fetchable compiler option. ad Consider our 5-day course Advanced Topics in PL/I which covers this and a lot more.

I suspect that's what you want to use. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html

---snip- Take a long hard look at the PL/1 LOAD, CALL and DELETE statements. I suspect that's what you want to use. ---unsnip-- After reading other posts, I have to correct myself. It is, indeed, the FETCH statement, rather than LOAD, that will serve your purpose. My mistake; I haven't used it in years. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
