The following is a simplified version of some code from IBM's CEEBLDTX, placed
in to an EXEC I've named PARENS:
Parse Arg option
Parse Var option varOpt '(' valueOpt ')'
Say varOpt
Say valueOpt
This handles a simple dataset name, e.g.:
Test1: PARENS COBOL(TEST):
Results1:
COBOL
TEST
But it doesn't work for a PDS member to following, also surrounded by
parentheses:
Test2: PARENS COBOL(TEST(MEMBER))
Results2:
COBOL
TEST(MEMBER
Any simple REXX parse option to handle this, or do I need to resort to more
complex REXX? Or do I just add a trailing paren if there is a leading one in
valueOpt? Perhaps that's the simples answer.
