<https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/3.2.0?topic=functions-rexx-io> In REXX, the concept of persistent and non-persistent (or transient) streams is closely tied to how these input and output functions interact with the stream. If a stream is explicitly opened using the STREAM() function, it becomes persistent, meaning that it retains its position and state across multiple function calls.
Suppose multiple processes open the same file with optuon O_APPEND. That option requires that each write be done at the end of file at that tine, not at a "retain[ed] position." This requires a clarification. -- gil < ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
