|  When TOTAL gets up around 1250-1500 (don't know exactly where it    |
|  goes by quick), the REXX program kicks out and gives me an error.   |
|  Is this something on my part?                                       |

Sorry for the delay in replying. I have been off-line for a few days
reconfiguring my system.

Without knowing what kind of error you are referring to, let me offer a
debugging technique that may work for you.

At the most convenient position in your program, insert the following:

     !tr! = VALUE( 'TRACE',,'OS2Environment' )
     if !tr!  '' then
        do
           TRACE( !tr! )
        end

Then, to run the program with tracing, set the 'trace" environment
variable with:

   set trace=i

Invoke your program with:

   program 2>systrace

You will have a LARGE file, named SYSTRACE that will show you where your
program was when it died. DO NOT try this unless you have adequate space
on your hard drive.
