What!!??!! You removed the PL/I compiler?? This is an outrage...how can
I keep pestering Reed to port the much more advanced z/OS PL/I compiler
over to z/VM (just like IBM did with the C/C++ one), if sites keep
removing it? :-)
I'll send the code to your personal e-mail address forthwith. And I
misspoke in my first note to the list....the code is actually a Rexx
PIPELINEs stage, and not an EXEC.
Enjoy!

Thanks, the exec would be great. I don't think we have a PL/I compiler
any more (or it's on the list of things to remove)
Can you e-mail it to me as an attachment?

Thanks.... a lot :-)

Hi, Don.
I have a couple of "block letter" routines here, one in Rexx (an EXEC)
and one in PL/I. I can send them to you, if you'd like.

Does anybody have handy, a "block letter routine" they can share with

These are the characters generated for the printer separator pages.
I'd prefer the "italics" version, and the one that used the
individual character for making the large characters. That is, the
large "1" character was made up of x'f1' the large "2" character from
x'f2' etc.
I'm not producing banner pages with it, I want to use it from with in
an exec, either displaying the result, or writing to a file (which I
can use a pipe to to effectively redirect the output as required.
lol, I got all excited when I saw the pipe "block" stage.... see what
context thinking does? Of course I've used the block stage before,
and it has nothing to do with "block characters". :-)
Thanks.
