Thanks to all who replied. I actually DID want a parameter-that was the
genesis of the requirement, Charles was reading my mind.

 

I have a diagnostic in one of our libraries that can be most easily run by
typing EXEC next to it in ISPF 3.4. But it has a VERBOSE parameter, and
putting a parameter in the Prompt field doesn't pass it (why not?) so I
wanted to create a "V" version:

 

           Name     Prompt

_________ THING           

_________ THINGV          

 

So now users can just run THINGV to get the VERBOSE output. Using CALL seems
cleanest, so I'm doing that.

Subject: Dumb TSO Rexx question

 

I have a TSO Rexx program; let's call it CALLER. I want to call another;
let's call it SECOND. This doesn't work:

 

address tso 'EXEC SECOND'

 

I can see that I can do a PARSE SOURCE and build the full library name,
e.g., 'EXEC SOME.LIBRARY(SECOND', but should I have to do that? Seems very
un-Rexx-ish.
