Attached is a file that contains code of the problem I am having.
Since the original file is 450k, I have snipped out a lot of repetitive stuff that is not part of
the problem I am having. I don't believe what I removed is pertinent to the solution.

When I run the script, the offending line returns the error REX0030.

In the attachment the problem is at line 128.

The script is auto-generated by Object Desktop.

As long as I'm discussing this script I have a 2nd question.

When booted to eCS maintenance console the script won't run because it cannot find sysloadfunc. I
take it that this is because it is not registered. I get the same error if I try to run this
script by booting with alt-F2 and going to a command window.

Similiarly, if I replace pmshell with protshell=c:\os2\cmd.exe it also fails to run.

It will run fine if run from a command window with the desktop loaded however I understand that is
not the ideal situation for running this script.

How can I get this to run when booted to the maintenance console in eCS?

Thanks, Jon
