Friday, a little bit off-topic, but still about mainframes and SDSF
SDSF is great tool. I was enhanced significantly last years. I like it.
However I observe many users are simply *not aware* of many new features.
They obviously use panels, which are visible in main menu, but they miss
many other tools.
I believe everything is documented, but it is rather rare that someone
read whole documentation as a novel.
Q: is there any presentation or whitepaper describing "new and shining"
things in SDSF?
Regarding SDSF and REXX - I miss simple examples. It is not only
SDSF-related pain. I observe many z/OS users are looking for code
samples via Google search and we find some bad or very bad ones,
submitted on some forums.
My €0.02

I must admit that I find nothing amiss with the quoted section.
It describes the syntax requirements of the SDSF-specific ISFEXEC verb.
It does not get into any generic REXX techniques to provide the statement
buffer to the verb as that is not required in this case.
Contrast that with the documentation for ISFSLASH that does include required
REXX techniques as it supports alternate input using stem variables.
The product documentation is written by information development team members,
but based on input provided by the development team. In this case, that
developer (not me) has decades of asm, plx and rexx experience and is fully
aware of the nuances of the language.
The documentation will always be updated when required for the current (most
recent) release.
