=====================================================

I think I asked my question incorrectly.

My original question was:

How can I invoke an OS/2 (non REXX) command file from within
an OS/2 REXX command?

My test OS/2 command is (OS2Command.cmd):
echo I am OS2Command

My test REXX command is (REXXCommand.cmd):
/* REXXcmd.cmd */
"OS2Command"
Exit

When I run REXXCommand I get:
SYS1803: Chaining was attempted from a REXX batch file.

Perhaps a better way to ask is:

How can I invoke an OS/2 batch file (non REXX) from within
an OS/2 REXX batch file?

I offer my regrets for my lack of preciseness.

Bill
