The issue is when someone has a compound or long ISPF script name and someone else wants to use CLIST, EXEC or EXEC2 for another script in the same application. I see discouraging use of those older languages for new scripts as a good thing, but others might not se it that way.

The bigger restriction is that any variable name known to ISPF has to be 8 characters or less. So you'd have to squeeze the entirety of the compound name into 8 characters. I kind of like that I can *prevent* ISPF from seeing variables by using illegal names. -Original Message- From: I
