 | Very funny - no, really, I like it.
On another point, for all you REXXy types, I want to monitor a batch of
packs for available space (typical VTOC returned data). How can I code this in
REXX (I'm not a sys prog so handling all the 'bits' and utilities behind the
PDF screens tends to be a Black Art for me...).
I can handle OUTRAP, and REXX constructs - it's the ISPF calls which tend to
throw me...
Ta muchly.

REXX is a scripting language. How would you do it if there was no such thing as
'REXX'?

I think the efficient way is via something called DCOLLECT - IIRC
that's a command within IDCAMS (or ISMF?) that's normally only
available to storage administrators. The alternative, of running LIST
VTOC isn't really worth considering.
Try asking on ibm-main.
