Thanks Dave. That seemed to work for part of it, but I am getting an
error if I am trying to assign a value to the variable within the
loop; i.e. assign a value using this type of variable. /* This CLIST
demonstrates how to create an array. */
/**********************************************************************/
SET &COUNT = 1
DO WHILE &COUNT < 4
SET &&COLOR&COUNT = &COUNT
SET &TEMP = &&COLOR&COUNT
WRITE &TEMP
SET &COUNT = &COUNT + 1
END
Nick,
In the CLIST above, no value has been set for &COLOR so the variable
resolves to null. &COUNT has an initial value of 1, so the entire thing
resolves to the following:
SET &1 = 1
Variables cannot have numeric names; e.g. &1 is not a valid name for a
variable. This is why the CLIST is displaying an error message. To fix
the problem, simply assign a value to &COLOR.
This also points out another fundamental difference:
in REXX, an unititialized variable has its own name
as the default value; in CLIST the default value is
null.

So, Nick, How about a CLIST class? If you have
a lot of this stuff to do, our 3-day class "TSO
CLIST Programming in z/OS" might be just the
ticket.
