Hello again. I promised a posting to summarise answers to my problem, so here goes. The answer is.... DONT BOTHER! When a DCL command file is set running it is hooked into the terminal driver. A job has to be attached for a read from the terminal to succeed. Hence, its best to set the job running in batch. Thanks to all that helped with this query. Hope this helps somebody somewhere.
