What was Richards ( or anyones for that matter) very first pipe? -----Original Message----- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Hughes, Jim Sent: Thursday, July 17, 2008 7:56 AM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: Re: Some REXX exec help needed.
Pretty harsh comment there Richard. It seems he'd like to eat up the response to the Close command and perhaps process the result. The CP command as you wrote it displays it on the console. The DIAG command as you wrote it also displays the output on the console. How about cutting me some slack? Many people start using PIPE's with a simple one like mine. ____________________________ Jim Hughes 603-271-5586 "Its kind of fun to do the impossible."

Even cheaper, say diag(8, 'SPOOL CONS CLOSE OPERATOR') or 'CP SPOOL CONS CLOSE OPERATOR' Why invoke Pipelines when there are both an internal function and a simple command that will do the job with much less overhead (no scanner, scheduler, etc.). This is a case of blatant misuse of Pipelines.

It works for me. On the other hand why not make life easier on yourself and PIPE it: PIPE LITERAL CLOSE CONS OPERATOR | CP | Stem ans.

Thanks... Is my EXECIO statement valid? >>> "Hughes, Jim" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 7/16/2008 5:03 PM >>> MAKEBUF not MAKBUF hence the -3. ____________________________ Jim Hughes 603-271-5586 "Its kind of fun to do the impossible."

I have the following code in a REXX exec which if I recall worked without any issues in a prior life. 'MAKBUF' BUFFNUM = RC 'EXECIO * CP (STRING CLOSE CONS OPERATOR' The MAKBUF is returning an RC of -3 and the EXECIO statement isn't working but did in the past. I know this is crazy but all this started after I logged off and then back on. Any ideas as how to solve this will be appreciated.
