Hi Gilles and Others :)
Thanks for the good info so far :) What I am looking at is trying to
create a job stream that is self-contained with the vplus screen based cobol
program getting it's input from within the JCL... and the file redirection
might just do that... so any other ideas/thots on this one? Gilles' answer
was echo'ed by a few other private replies... for which I thank all :)
