----------------------<snip>--------------
Have you any real data to support your "just about all"? I have never
encountered a problem invoking programs (including IBM products) from
Rexx ATTCHMVS (assembler CALL would be the same) with PARM>100 chars.
Any program which would fail as you suggest with a long EXEC PARM= would
likewise fail when invoked by CALL or ATTCHMVS; it's intrinsically broken.
----------------------<unsnip>----------------
I've always found it far easier to process the PARM= value in place,
rather than trying to move it around. That's what I was taught 'way back
in the late 60's in my first Assembler Programming class. Does that make
me an anachronism?? :-) Or a dinosaur ??
