This is worse than disappointing; it's dismaying. Conway's Law at it's most pernicious. There's the above function package, then there's Rexx Stream I/O for z/OS Unix Rexx, originally a function package; now integrated into the z/OS base; both from IBM. The former runs only under TSO/E, and processes only legacy data sets. The latter runs only under z/OS Unix and processes only z/OS Unix files. Why can't IBM get their act together and produce a single stream I/O facility, integrated with the z/OS base, operational under all of z/OS Unix, TSO/E, and IRXJCL? And while they're at it, implement the customary Rexx facility missing from both, SIGNAL ON NOTREADY? -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
