Its deficiencies qua statement-level procedural language are equally
clear.

If you want to protect your code from inadvertently using undefined

With the above statement, the REXX interpreter will not detect when you're

Hi,
If I have an SVC DUMP, Is there a way to find out what SDATA parameters used to
generate the dump?

If you used a real language like SAS that knows those formats it's as
simple as INPUT SMF70INT RMFDUR4.;
Does raw SAS handle all time formats, or do you nee MXG?
Not that I can imagine
No, all of the myriad of date/datetime/time/etc informats (used to INPUT a
value) are part of the SAS language.
Most of those that are SMF-related were created in 1972-73 when I was at State

I noticed the lack of replies, so I'm offering my two cents worth.
ERROPT may be nice for recovering some data from defective media, but
for V(B)S it's worse than useless. ERROPT causes a buffer to be accepted
Hi Hashem.
In IPCS use option 2.6I then select DUMPINFO from the list of options.

I include the following code in every REXX EXEC that I code. It’s taken from a
