The Sun is hot. ADDRESS LINKMVS is not relevant to the REXX support in SDSF, which does something that ADDRESS LINKMVS does not address. Until such time as COBOL supports associative arrays that a subroutine can update, those facilities will not be available from COBOL.

The Rexx caller must supply the names. See the ICSF examples in SAMPLIB and their long parameter lists. The same should work for Assembler and thus COBOL, etc. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
