There is no automatic environment integration. There is an API that makes it easy for the developer of an application to support Rexx scripts and there are environments whose developers have exploited that API. ooRexx is not inferior in that regard. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.) Metz

I guess when the utility was developed JCL was way simpler and test cases were limited. After Gil raised the various gotchas, I wrote myself a PUTPDS program with a user defined delimiter. Eschewing 2 bytes means I can come up with a very random string such as !@#$%^&* ADD NAME=MEMBER. Not

If the database is local, ODBC will slow it down. DFSRRC00 is batch oriented ( may run with TM/DBCTL as well). The question you need to answer is where the database is. ITschak *| **Itschak Mugzach | Director | SecuriTeam Software **|** IronSphere Platform* *|* *Information Security Continuous

In a single word, yes. And as has been stated, setting up "DLM=" requires, at times, a scan of just the first several bytes of each logical record to find what unique value(s) one can use. Steve Thompson On 4/15/2024 3:30 AM, wrote: Just curious. Have anyone had problem with this

This survey is BS. On the first page, it touts interoperability between 31-bit and 64-bit. This is only a thing because of the ridiculous decision to use XPLINK linkage for 64-bit Cobol. The z/OS architects made that a non-issue with F4SA, F5SA, etc. LE designers made some bad decisions when
