Bob, No, we run a small amount of java as straight batch. One example is the IBM SCRT monthly processing. Straight batch job:

I really gotta learn Java. If five belts around my waist are good, six would be even better.

You would have been better off writing your code in Java, or if you have installed the new Open XL C/C++ compiler/runtime you could use the C++17 filesystem library. To me, just having to check return codes instead of relying on exceptions is a good enough reason to dodge REXX. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The information contained in this message is confidential, protected from disclosure and may be legally privileged.
