Thanks. I've downloaded it and am looking at the source. One "problem" so far, for me, is that I don't really like using undocumented interfaces. I'm a GUPI kind of guy. And I can't find any IBM doc on using the SSI calls to SMS. I'll do it, but it will take a while for me to decode how SHOWMVS is actually doing the work. And how to port that portion of the code into my own code. I will likely separate it out into a separate source module as a callable subroutine.
