Boy, ain't THAT the truth!, he says sadly, thinking of an app he didn't write and is now responsible for maintaining.
This thing passes multiple values between programs using (if I understand it correctly) a single character string consisting of many assignment statements, which are then parsed and evaluated upon returning to the calling program. Me, I probably would've used ISPF pool variables, but I'm not sure that would be easier to follow. So far I don't mess with it much; it works. --- Bob Bridges, robhbrid...@gmail.com, cell 336 382-7313 /* Every year, on April 15, all members of Congress would be placed in individual prison cells with the necessary tax forms and a copy of the Tax Code. They would remain locked in the cells, without food or water, until they had completed their tax returns and successfully undergone a full IRS audit. Of course this system would probably result in a severe shortage of congresspersons. But there might also be some drawbacks. -Dave Barry's plan to simplify the tax code, 2000-04-09 */ -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> On Behalf Of Seymour J Metz Sent: Sunday, March 17, 2024 18:46 Expect the code to be modified by someone with significantly less knowledge of the problem domain, even if they are an expert in the language. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
