I’m using the verbx exit mainly to format my own personal control blocks the BLSQMDEF BLSQMFLD and BLSQLSHDR macros and format service I’m not sure if it’s available under Rexx while the service might be the macros are assembler I could maybe have the Rexx call an assembler program for that particular task
