There are things in rexx that are awful. And I grant that pl/i or even cobol would be better run-time wise. The execio is one of the issues that I am aware of. I toyed with the idea of partially converting the rexx exec to an assembler doing the i/o, but figured it was not worth it. There again, I had spare time as a smp/e person doing the mainframe work. Maintainability is one of the high points of rexx, and yes, I agree, assembler can be as maintainable as rexx if adequately documented. Sorry, too many links back, I can't remember which Scott I was talking to. It was the one boasting about all of his pc-centric skills, so whichever one it was. Boy, I wished I could do assembler full time. I'm stuck here doing god-awful quick-jobs. Now, that's the pits. -------------------------------------------- On Fri, 3/28/14, Automatic digest processor <[email protected]> wrote:
