Yes: use PARSE PULL instead of PULL, or use the stem form
of EXECIO.
I'm curious as to why the preponderance of Rexx examples
posted to these lists
prefer [PARSE] PULL over STEM (I suggested the latter in
my followup). I avoid
using the stack as much as possible because in my
experience it leads to hard-
to-diagnose errors if the PUSHes and PULLs ever get out of
sync. And in the
case where the entire record is needed in a variable, STEM
saves a statement.
I also avoid using the stack. It's especially
problematic in TSO: An accidental end to the EXEC will
start you executing the rest of the stack as TSO
commands. I've had occasion to do that on purpose, but I'd
hate to have it happen by accident.
