I would like to save the RETRIEVE buffers before calling an EXEC, and restore them afterwards. Saving them is easy:
'PIPE cp QUERY RETRIEVE BUFFERS | stem buffers.' The question is how to restore them. The EXEC saves, redefines, and then restores the PF keys -- but that clobbers the RETRIEVE buffers. I looked in the archive for this list and found the post below, but nothing else. Is there no way to do this? Shoul d I try to APAR the clobbering of the RETRIEVE buffers?
