since I don't find the explaination in the PofO or the other BAL book I have,
and using RLDSAVE worked, could you or someone give a short description of
ADCONs?

Melvin,
  Since my program was dieing on the very first invocation I discounted
having to re-init my constants as being the problem.  I will remember to
re-init them right after I get the code to work once while NUCXLOADed.

  On another note.

  I know this isn't the VMREXX discussion, but we all use REXX here.
What is your opinion, should a stem search function respect case or be
case insensitive?  I can see goodness in both approaches.  If I were to
add a parm for case, should the default be sensitive or insensitive ( I
lean towards insensitive if I were to do this ).  Also, given the
existing syntax 'search(needle, haystack, start, end)', where would be
the 'best' place to put the case parm ( I lean towards after the 'end'
parm ).

  Also, I am comtemplating adding 'startcol' and 'endcol' at some future
date, is it worth it?

  Thanks.
