Probably yes, depending how you process your members and how you call the programs (in what language are they?). Are you putting the member's content somewhere in memory? Which of your programs, your REXX program and/or called programs, are actually OPEN/CLOSE these members? I would suggest using larger REGION, using other work space and DROP statement. In my REXX progs I process ONE member at a stage. Ie, I open it, do my things and FREE it. And then I DROP my stem variables. Repeat with other member. If you can't do that, put in SAY statements showing your variables and progress. Handy for debugging. More info should be given how you open, process and close those members. Also how is your loop working. Are your members being opened by more than one program?
