Using GDGs or PDSEs, the members of which can have long, sometimes very long, aliases would probably yield better results than these fiddles with JCL. Extracting bits and pieces of a sequential file is always possible, but it is usually neither neat nor efficient. John Gilmore, Ashland, MA 01721

If you are running your REXX in batch, any DDs and DSNs that are not coded in the JCL can be allocated (and then deallocated) in REXX itself, e.g. as: IF SYSDSN(DSN) = "OK" THEN "ALLOC FI("||FILE||") DA("DSN") SHR" (where 'DSN' exists and is generated with a date/time-stamp in it, and
