I don't know whether REXX can call procedures in service programs, or can it only call OPM programs. In the latter case, there are OPM equivalents for the QC3* APIs that can be called.

Carsten,
Thanks very much for providing all the reading. I don't mind RTFM. It seems using the API could be quite involved so will try to use the ENCRYPT/DECRYPT SQL function as it seems easier and quicker. This unless you or someone leads me to believe otherwise. What I need to do is simply create a table that contains a password or perhaps a userid and password. I want me REXX code to call whatever's necessary to decrypt the password contained in a password table (maybe the userid as well) and make it available to my code for FTP/S work in batch. I know I'll also have to create some code that allows a trusted someone to create and change the userid and encrypts the password in the table when required. So, I'm not trying to create a super sophisticated app here. Thanks again,
Dave
