re: write buffer is a variable name
This was done for a variety of reasons, but primarily, rexx has a limit to
number of parameters that can be passed to an address environment.
I think TSO rexx limits it to 20. If it took a string you would be limited to
very few blank delimited words.
a number of syscall commands take variable/stem names to avoid issues with
input or output rexx restrictions.
.
I thoughht it was exactly one: a command string.
Probably my last post before retirement tomorrow.

Thanks Bill, you're guidance has been much appreciated.
I wish the other retirees on this forum would follow your lead.
You have been enormously helpful. Thank you!
