There's a thread active in TSO-REXX in which the OP wished
to extract the last record from a data set. Of course, this
spawns a school of increasingly byzantine suggestions:
Read into a stem and use the STEM.0th element
Edit Macro
Sort into reverse order and take the first.
Count the legs and divde by four
(I suggested:
cp "//'DATA.SET.NAME(MEMBER)'" /dev/fd/1 | tail -1
... )
But usually to such questions, Frank chimes in saying
it's a natural for DFSORT. Is it?
