Excluding cursing, and including recursing. Any IT management who chooses that route over TwoSimpleProgramsWithNothingButOrdinaryCodeCompile/LinkProcessingAndOrdinaryRunTime. is... well, choose your own ending. Remember, there is Frank's suggestion to have the two programs in one source and compile them together, like they have some deep affinity just through proximity, that may serve the "do it the way I say" people. One COBOL program doing two things (and being shoe-horned with a blow-torch to do so) vs two programs *with identical, as in identical, really the same, except for no ENTRY* (Ok, not really identical, but you know what I mean) code. That's surely easy, even for a CS Grad? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
