You mean like a BPX function? Not that I see. The 'submit' from Gil's link is just a rexx program (/bin/submit) that calls the Rexx 'submit' built-in. Before this version, Bill Schoen used to have a version that used: --- call bpxwdyn 'alloc dd(sub) sysout writer(intrdr) recfm(f)', 'l

Hi Terri, I see you went ahead and opened a case for this with the RMM team, I will work with them and make sure we get things figured out. From your last update it almost sounds like there may be an issue with the CBRUXCUA exit not getting called properly when a tape is returned from scratch.
