A small suggestion for the code below would be to add a unique identifier to

constructs which are assigned at multiple points in the code.
If that were to be true in this case, it would be more difficult to
Maybe the thing that's throwing you when looking for documentation on the ISMF
testing facility is that the software is called NAVIQUEST. There is a redbook:
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg244720.html
and a manual:
-- he *cannot* write good REXX.
So what is good REXX? Or did we mean 'he cannot write REXX well'?
Isn't the point of the statement to describe how he writes? Or is it to
discuss what constitutes 'good' REXX?
Even those of us whose native language is English have problems with it
