Hello,
I'm trying out the address ... with output replace stream 'streamName'
instruction, but it doesn't behave the way I
would expect, and there are no examples in either of the ooRexx manuals for
other than stem and array.
What I'm trying to do is issue several OS commands and capture each
command's output using the stream option.
The first address instruction works as expected, but successive address
instructions return no lines.
Attached are two test programs that show the problem I'm having.
Perhaps I'm using stream incorrectly or inappropriately? but I can't
tell by what is in the manuals.
