At least from an outside IBM perspective, this seems to be the first place new
CMS function is being actively developed, so it made sense to ask here first.

Thanks for the suggestion.
In general, I'd like to stay with NAMES-style entries because all those other
tools you mention use them, so IMHO it's more likely for IBM to support it
long-term if their own tools use it. I had looked at writing an analogue to the
functions of the CMS filesystem (o

Serious though... You can use the DIGEST stage to map the path to your
variable to a hash, and 64ENCODE that to produce the GLOBALV variable name.
If you have
GLOBALV as currently implemented is limited to about 250 chars of useful data
if you use the stack interface, which most of the IBM utilities use values that
can be longer than that. It also has some oddities documented on pg 374 of the
CMS Commands and Utilites Reference. I know about GLOBALV G

Not only can it look up based on the break tag, it can search based on
other values:

The name space of REXX variables is a subset of tag names. You can put

I don't know if it matters much outside of this thread, but the stage
below doesn't work if there are blanks after the tag name and before the
period, or after the period and before the nickname (e.g., ':nick . CLOWN

You're right Mark. That's exactly why I don't want to go there. Clearly
there are degrees of freedom that some applications traditionally allow or
exploit, likely that other applications don't tolerate. And maybe
the period is even optional?
