I have a problem where I would like to pass some number of variables
between different REXX sources (in this case >200).

 

I have placed the variables into a single REXX source. And I know that
this can't be called and then have those variables available in the
calling REXX exec (if I can, that would be wonderful). I can't find a
"copy" statement that would allow me to copy the one source (similar to
ALC or COBOL to copy a common record description) so that each EXEC that
uses the common variables can get them. 

 

Also, putting these variables into each EXEC that needs them makes this
a maint nightmare because one would have to know every place they
exist...

 

My options at this point seem to be IPCS EQUATE for each variable or
ISPF VGET/VPUT. Since we do handle multi-address space dumps, the IPCS
EQUATE seems to be headed toward heartburn. The ISPF VGET/VPUT brings up
its own set of heartburn in that if you change from one dump to another,
you have to re-establish the variables.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Regards,

Steve Thompson
