Why not simply: call *(BPXBATCH) 'PGM /bin/sleep 30' asis or the equivalent: //STEP EXEC PGM=BPXBATCH,PARM='PGM /bin/sleep 30' I suspect some programmers are so averse to anything related to the U-word that they'll seek and install and use freeware rather than learning and employing a now-standard facility. Or, perhaps, they won't use it because it requires minuscule characters in a JCL file. -- gil -- StorageTek INFORMATION made POWERFUL ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
