All; Your feedback has been appreciated.
Here is the plan for the next update, tentatively for Feb. 1. Please let me know if there is anything important I missed. *2023/02 Update (as planned) * * Additional filters and functions (Any case is OK.): * * $README - This member. * * APPEND - Place arg output at end of stack. * * BROWSE - Fill-screen display using ISPF browse * * B2C()* - Binary to character conversion. * * B2D()* - Binary to decimal conversion. * * CHANGE - Change all occurrences of one string to another. * * CHANGSTR()- Change all occurrences of one string to another. * * C2B()* - Character to binary conversion. * * DUPlicate - Make copies of each record. * * D2B()* - Decimal to binary conversion. * * FIND - Select records by exact string in col. 1. * * INSTORE - Write stack elsewhere and return token. * * ISEQ()* - Case-insensitive compare. * * ISONEOF()*- Case-insensitive wordpos(). * * LISTPDS - List member names of a PDS. (zPLstPDS) * * NFIND - Select records by exact string not in col. 1. * * OUTSTORE - Write data to stack by INSTORE token. * * PREFACE - Place arg output at top of stack. * * SHOW - Full-screen display using ISPF browse, edit, or view. * * SUBFLS()* - Sub-field(start, len, sep) Defaults: len=1, sep='05'x * * () - Function, not a filter. * * * - Included in Spex, PickIf, and Call for CEXEC perf. * * - Lower case characters in names are optional. * * Improved error handling for stage routine not found. * * Add missing modules DDUNIQ for STACKIO ... dsn, and VIO. STACKIO DDname=yourddn still works.* * In the interim, you can use STACKIO from the presentation for * * dataset names and EXECIO for DD I/O * OREXXMan Q: What do you call the residence of the ungulate with the largest antlers? A: A moose pad. :-D Would you rather pass data in move mode (*nix piping) or locate mode (Pipes) or via disk (JCL)? Why do you think you rarely see *nix commands with more than a dozen filters, while Pipelines specifications are commonly over 100s of stages, and 1000s of stages are not uncommon.
