It seems that there is enough interest, so here goes. I am sending the actual code as an attachment. I have never done this before so, be prepared for me getting it wrong! <g> Note that I recommend a dynamic call but, it's up to you how you do it. Of course, the assumption is that you are using COBOL2 or COBOL/370. Have fun - if you need to allocate a return area (EVALBLOCK) bigger than 250 bytes and are not sure how, just drop me a line and I will help you out. The next thing I will investigate is the use of "shared variables", this will allow me to manipulate REXX variables within my COBOL programs.
