On V5R3, Qshell is 5722SS1 option 30. If you have Cume PTF CDs, re-install them after you install Qshell. PTFs aren't installed if the product isn't, so you'd need to rerun the PTF load-and-apply, or download them manually.

Can you write some kinda script that could be run from the IFS to install a new program ? Do stuff like, save off the existing file to a savf, copy the new file from the savf on the IFS onto the system in it's place, etc? TIA

Ken, Thanks for the info. I don't seem to have Qshell installed on my system (at least the STRQSH command is not present). Do you know how to install it ? Martin

Sure, though I'd use a qshell script. That's native to the IFS; I don't think REXX is, though you could use a qshell script to create and run a REXX script in the QSYS.LIB file system.
