Hello, Tom: Yes, a space is a space is a space. I frequently use User Space objects as receiver variable on APIs. This is done by supplying the address of the first byte of the *USRSPC as your receiver value. As you wondered, this works a treat because of SLS. -- ki o tsukete.

At first glance, given single-level storage, etc., it seems there'd be no difference (assuming proper authorities are granted, etc.). But that gets to a level that's beyond me. Hence, the question to the MI list. Tom Liotta On Thu, 30 August 2001, "Hall, Philip" wrote: > > Q1.
