All of the functions are NOT available in Metal C, and the ones that are available vary by release (i.e., more are available in z/OS 1.12 than were in 1.10). In addition, if you are writing cross release software products be aware that you need to statically build the Metal C library into your module if you are going from 1.12 back to earlier releases. BT and shot myself in the foot. Note also that you can use some of the GCC MVS functions with Metal C to provide some of the functionality that does not exist. For example, the time LE functions are not part of Metal C. But some of the GCC MVS time functions work quite well with Metal C programs. Lloyd
