Mike; I'm not sure what you are trying to do exactly. If you are trying write a dual mode program or if any reader gets the idea to do so, please reconsider.
Unless something has changed since the last time I was on CMS, writing a program that is supposed to work when invoked under CMS and as a Pipe stage, has an issue. REXX programs invoked as FUNCTIONs or SUBROUTINEs will be completing inaccessible when the program run as a stage. In addition, COMMAND invocations must use the CMS pipe stage. I was sorely disappointed when I wrote a stage that invoked my usual external routines, only to find out that that all came up 40-Routine not found. I had to create copies of file type REXX, in addition to the ones I had, type EXEC. I neve did that again So any dual mode program would be under similar limitations. You have all been advised.
