I use SUBSTR to format my output lines in REXX. Here is an example from
an exec that lists storage usage:
OUTLIN=SUBSTR('SYSID',1,6)||SUBSTR('CSASIZE',1,8),
||SUBSTR('CSAUSED',1,10)||SUBSTR('CSAPARM',1,8)||SUBSTR('SLACK',1,8),
||SUBSTR('ECSASIZE',1,10)||SUBSTR('ECSAPARM',1,10),
||SUBSTR('ECSAUSED',1,10)||SUBSTR('PRIVATE',1,10)

Subject: Another REXX query
I have a small bit of REXX which finds the running jobs, STC, TSO users,
etc and sorts them nicely. Using BPXBATCH I can then output this to the
console for some other purpose but I would like it to be tidy, it
doesn't need to be but...Anyway the original code looks like this:
output_line = Strip(job_name) Strip(type_of_task) Say output_line
'BPXBATCH sh logger -d1' output_line
When running in batch (or foreground if you want your session locked
up,) both output statements are the same, i.e.:
+MYUSER: 16779803: PCAUTH System Task
+MYUSER: 16779840: IMS941F1 Batch Job
+MYUSER: 50334273: INIT Initiator
+MYUSER: 83888708: ASCHINT APPC Task
etc. etc. etc.
Now to tidy it up I do:
job_name = Strip(job_name)
job_name = Overlay(job_name,Copies(' ',10)) output_line =
Strip(type_of_task) Say output_line 'BPXBATCH sh logger -d1' output_line
This time the 'say' output is nicely formatted but the BPXBATCH stays as
previously without the formatting. I also tried adding copies of spaces
at the end but still no joy. Any ideas on how to format the text nicely?
Cheers,
Seb.
