Yes, that would be a better option also. Thanks. No excuse except that I copied the code from somewhere else without thinking about it. Although if the ALLOCATE above worked I would never expect the CONCAT to fail and if the ALLOCATE failed I would see that.

And I've sometimes had to mix metaphors in Rexx: several address TSO allocate ... (can't CALL *(BPXWDYN) 'alloc ...' because of the 100-char PARM limit), followed by CALL *(BPXWDYN) 'concat ...'.
