Booth,

I like Larry's choice "a" the best, but if you really want the s/36
experience, do the following:

1.  Create a source file: QS36PRC  (this will store s/36 procedures.)
2.  Use your favorite editor (STRPDM?) to create a member that will contain
the BLDFILE command to create your file.  The source type is OCL36.
3.  Now you can either use option 16 within PDM to run the S/36 procedure to
build your file, or you can use the STRS36PRC command with the name of the
procedure defined in step 2.

Enjoy.

William
