Ed - PARSE is very powerful and I think I do keyword parsing in a simple manner. A few more keystrokes than CLIST, but not many more. I might point out I do things in REXX that mere mortals will never accomplish AND I will also wonder how people do some of what they do.
Everyone else - I presented some of the wild and crazy things I have done one at SHARE. Other presenters have done a whole session on PARSE. If your company is a SHARE member then you can find the presentations in the archives. If they are not, get them to spend a few bucks. I have found it worthwhile. And I do not get a kick-back.
