A REXX script need not be in the SYSEXEC or SYSPROC concatenation. While I have certainly written assembler code in support of REXX code, this isn't a case where it is needed.
REXXTRY is pretty good at encapsulating errors. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

An EXEC must come from a member of PDS(E) SYSEXEC or SYSPROC. Or you can write an assembler program to invoke your Rexx in a PS data set. And there's a problem: if you make a typo in a function name (e.g. ADDERSS()), the interpreter will devour input seeking the function definition. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
