Why doesn't IBM allow HLL access to SDSF functions like it does REXX and Java? The only reason that I can think of is that REXX is closely associated with TSO & ISPF. And Java is closely associated with "web applications", in particular Websphere Application System (or whatever it's called now). So IBM likely did not consider the development effort to make an LE compliant set of routines available to be cost effective. > > -- > Shmuel (Seymour J.)
