Hi,
I think this is a good idea, but I'm not convinced adding another
directive is the right way to go. Directives do not integrate well with
the flow of programs as they are static in a way. Adding those data
directives could be imagined as having
I, too, have seen a need for something like this for quite a while. And
I've written some functions using sourceline to accomplish it but they
preclude the use of REXXC as you've noted. So I'd like to see an
official solution get agreed on and implemented.
I would like to distinguish,
This sounds pretty good.
I confess it is not something that I have desired, but I can think of uses
for it if it was available.

I do for see a use for multi-literals, but I don't really see them as being
a good usage for the type of problem I'm trying to solve here. The
directive approach is really intended for situations where I really wish to
embed a file within a single source program rather than having it
elsewhere.

This is similar to MIME encoding, but ooRexx already has the directive
concept that breaks the code into units. That is the link into the address
space/naming mechanism. I have toyed with also adding Mime sort of typing
mechanisms to this, but I think I'd prefer to keep this simple right now,
