Instead of coding a multistream (in which one sends the secondary output of Take to Hole), one could use buffer: 'PIPE stack|buffer|var expdt' Buffer will read all stacked lines and only then pass the firstcrecord through. Note that Take isn't required as Var will stop aftr havibg processed the first record. Op 24-jun.-2016 6:26 PM schreef "Mike Walter" < [email protected]>:
Steve, If you expect three stacked records, are they all the same format, where 33.8 is an expdt? If so, then do you want to do with each of those expdts? Changing your '| VAR expdt' stage to something like '| STEM expdts.' with three stavked input records containing expdts in 33.8 would create rexx stem variables: expdts.0=0expdts.1='xx/xx/xx'expdts.2='xx/xx/xx'expdts.3='xx/xx/xx'Where 'xx/xx/xx' is the expdt of each record in whatever format was stacked.

What I thought would happen is the entire STACK is read into the stream and then proceed onto the next stage. This is not happening.
