The MPEX SETPROC is working great for us.  Thank you!

A bunch of responses said to use GLANCE for what I'm trying to accomplish.  Has
anyone ever heard or experienced that using GLANCE could cause your system to
hang?

Thank you.

The only way I know is with MPEX (which, fortunately, you have :) .

Try     %showproc #j123; format=files

This shows ALL files being accessed by the job, including temp files.
It also shows the current record ptr and the EOF.

I think an old (pre-XL) version of SOO actually estimated the time
until an open file would hit EOF, but I don't recall seeing that
functionality anywhere since.
