Maybe;
RO (ro
options if any) other system command operand (other system command options if
any)
It
changes the way the RO program is written,(moving the RO options to the
beginning) but it looks nice and is more 'elegant'

Subject: Delimiters, delimiters everywhere, and not a parm to keep.
I wrote a command that sends commands on to another system for processing. This command is named (for historical and compatibility reasons) "RO".
The "other system's" command may have its own imbedded parenthesis. Meanwhile, "RO" has its own options.
Typical VM commands have options following an open parenthesis. Up until now I've been using double close-parentheses, such as:
RO some other system command operands ( some other system command options )) RO's own options
That DOES work, but looks rather "inelegant" to my eyes. Perhaps someone having experience with other systems might have a more elegant solution?
Obviously, a vertical bar (Pipe's default stage separator) is a nonstarter.
TIA,
Mike Walter
