Thank you for the response, Kurt.
I believe I’ve tried that before. When I specify a new volume ID (one that does
not currently exist), I get this message:

The 3979 isn't a 3270 terminal in itself.
It is an expansion module that you can attach to the 3179-G and 3192-G,
so that you can use plotters, mice, etc. with those terminals.
I suspect it will be little more than a serial multiplexer, but I do not
actually know.
Your list seems pretty complete.

Those links seem to be for allowing an OOREXX application on a different
platform to access a database on z/OS, not for allowing an OOREXX application
to run on z/OS.
That said, the package is more general than that, and is worth a look for
anybody writing in OOREXX.

Certainly oorexx on z/Linux is useful, and easier than oorexx on z/OS, but it
would be great if IBM would support it cross platform, or at least for CMS and

needs to be aware of the Unix system calls for paths. Of c

In English (unlike most languages), two negatives make a positive. ("Yeah,
right.") So when the girl says "I don't want nothing to do with you, no
how, no way", to an English professor she means "yes". This may explain why
English professors are so cautious.
