Thanks for all your help. For bow we have just brought the number of jobs to a lower number per REXX execution.

Thanks Robert.

I have seen this website but I always get confused on how to start working with them. I mean I have seen the links to get started but I think I am not very clear with them. If you can direct, it might help. In the mean time I would spend some more time on this.

If there are no tutorials could you tell where can we start learning it even if we have some experience in this field?
