Anyone else notice this buried in the V1.9 announcement? "SDSF is being enhanced to add the capability to provide access to SDSF functions through REXX variables. The variables will be loaded with data from the SDSF panels, enabling scripts to access the data programmatically. The data can also be changed; this provides a capability similar to action characters and overtyping."
A REXX API to SDSF functions could be pretty cool. I can think of a lot of applications. We could finally trash all those batch jobs that screen scrape panels. And if overtypes and action characters were supported...hmmm. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
