But there may have been some obscure path where it was not reported for CLISTs.
The behavior was silly. An entire EXEC could execute successfully then have an error reported when it exited. And if the ISPF developers hadn't been Rexx-ignorant, they would have: o Supported PARSE ARG o Made the inital command environment ISREDIT rather than TSO. (That would correspond to the way XEDIT macros work in CMS.) -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
