I rather prefer the 'A '||B format because it makes it very clear that I'm
doing string concatenation. I use the same construct in other languages.
REXX
C = 'A '||B
Python and Java
C = "A " + B
Bash
C = "A "
C += B
Etc.
I don't know of any (normal) language where whitespace is important. I

The latter seems to cater to the expectations of PL/I or some other

I have found a job with series of following commands:

Another question:
First step in the job is a series of VERIFY HLQ.SOME.VSAM commands.

You lost me when you say that rather than embrace the conventions, standards,
and features of the language I'm coding in (REXX), I should restrict it to the
limitations of other languages.
The maxim is to assume that readers of your code are familiar with the language
you're coding in, and
Hi,
I did a couple of tests.
If the VSAM is allocated to CICS I receive a IDC3351I with reason 168
during the VERIFY.
As far as I understand, ALTER with no parm does nothing but ensure the file
is not allocated to any other user.
Hope this helps.
