Cross posted to IBM-MAIN, TSO REXX, and Pipelines. The ISPF stacking character can be set to "|", but TSO tries to execute the passed stack data after each command. If that could be disabled, data could be passed from program to program, providing a stack based piping capability. Does anyone know how to disable stack data being executed? Could it be a viable requirement candidate to have two command delimiters, one that executed the stack and one that didn't?
Thanks!! OREXXMan Would you rather pass data in move mode (*nix piping) or locate mode (Pipes) or via disk (JCL)? Why do you think you rarely see *nix commands with more than a dozen filters, while Pipelines specifications are commonly over 100s of stages, and 1000s of stages are not uncommon. REXX is the new C. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
