o Lack of the VAR and, especially STRING, options, requiring extra code. Is that an accommodation to syntactic limitations of the CLIST/TSO parser? o Requirement for the OPEN option in some cases. I suspect this is a feckless accommodation to a customer who complained that EXECIO 0 DISKW fileid (FINIS created an empty file on TSO but not on CMS. That's merely the behavior of the underlying file system. o Lack of the PRINT, PUNCH, etc. forms. That's a difference in the Data Management conventions of the supporting OS. o Difference in the fileid syntax. As in the previous bullet. I've easily dealt with that by dual-path. The page at <http://planetmvs.com/rexxanywhere/> lauds Rexx portability. I see it as an argument for the other side. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
