So we can conclude that you have not written any new REXX code since a
year or don't use your own standards ;-)

I really hate the approach to show CMS error messages as XEDIT MSG
(even when the EXEC was invoked directly from the command line). I've
often stared at the line mode output in "HOLDING" to see why it did
not behave correct, only to get the VMLINK message after you get back
in FILELIST. Weird enough the CP errors don't follow that path.
For XEDIT macros its different since they are meant to do things with
your editor. But for EXEC it is often less helpful.
