Nice one Tom. I have to say the mischief potential occurred to me
immediately. :-))

OK here's a version that demonstrates input of data. I've renamed the
display file ABCFM. (Because that's what I had already lying around.) I
think James's problem was not removing the WAIT(*NO) from the SNDRCVF. This
works fine either interactively or in batch. However, I still can't get an
RPG version to work in batch using a WORKSTN file and ACQ and REL.
Interactively, yes; but in batch it fails on the OPEN.

Of course it looks as though it's dead in the water as a CFINT killer as
Leif tells us the 5250 bit is still set.
