The EXPORT has to be coded BEFORE the SET statements, as documented
in the first paragraph describing the EXPORT statement.
"Symbols must be set to a value subsequent to the EXPORT statement
for the symbol value to be exported."
For all -- I got interrupted a few times while writing the email
that Tom was responding to.
My purpose was to get back and explain what I found (this morning
my time).
To answer Tom specifically:
If that utility (U11RMS) is not executed, the symbols get
expanded, and the REXX exec works.
And, in the JOB that worked, I had moved the EXPORT statement to
immediately follow the JOB card and to immediately precede the
step in question. Made no difference. When it worked, it worked.
Have that utility step execute and PARMDD does not work.

Steve Thompson
