I've found returning from a procedure a string with a set of assignments separated by semicolons quite useful. I guess you're doing something similar.
(My canonical example is a sorted array returned as a sequence of assignments to the new array.

I think the problem with your example is that the getting variable was not interpreted. I use this syntax: xArray = My_Array Index = 4 LineNum = 8 /* OutVar.LineNum <== a previously set stem variable */ Interpret xArray'jCx = OutVar.LineNum' ITschak Mugzach *|** IronSphere Platform* *|* *Information Security Continuous Monitoring for z/OS, x/Linux & IBM I **| z/VM comming son * On Sat, May 30, 2020 at 1:44 PM Lionel B Dyck <[email protected]> wrote: > So this works - can anyone help with the 2nd? > > > > /* rexx */ > > v.1 = 'abc';v.2 = 'def' > > interpret 'var = v'.1 > > interpret 'var2 = v'.2 > > say var var2 > > > > But this doesn't: > > > > /* rexx */ > > test = 'testx' > > interpret 'test'.1 '= var' > > say testx.1 > > > > > > Lionel B.
