>> Along the same lines....is it possible to have a main procedure in a module that was used to create a service program? and, how would you call it, if it's not a PEP? Yup - folks do it all the time. The PEP is just a consistently named entry point that the OS can be sure exists in an ILE PGM object. So the OS calls the PEP because it knows where the "real" mainline starts and (more importantly) what it is called. All main procedures are implicitly exported so it can be called directly by name whether bound by copy or bound by reference as in a service program. That said - it's not as efficient as coding as a subproc because you still have cycle overhead. Procedures-only modules can use NOMAIN to avoid this. Jon Paris Partner400
