Ok. REXX, TSO and CLIST (and JCL!) are more or less "functionally stabilized". >>Thanks Paul for this pointer. >Jy is welkom.

I wish every vendor does the same technique in their own software. I also do more or less the same especially if someone runs a Clist or REXX program, but it requires panels, so I check for the environment and then stop run if it was run in batch for example. Same goes for authorization and parameters received. Check, check and check everything and then let it continue to run.
