Return(Arg1)

Now you have to change it like this:

MyRoutine(Arg1)
Arg2=Arg1
Arg2=Arg2+25
Return(Arg2)

What do you think of a Forum where UserGroup Meetings and DataStage Conferences may be anounced?

Thank you Ray for the hint with the user group. I will let it discuss on our next meeting. What might be of interest beside a separate UserGroup-intern Forum is a Forum for Events like this and may be several other UserGroup Meetings in other regions of Earth and Conference and so on.
