Sorry, this did not come to my mind, because the code appeared in a
public forum ...
this is the link where I found it:
https://www.developpez.net/forums/d1477375/systemes/autres-systemes/z-os/jcl-sort/recuperation-code-retour-d-job-rexx/
If I find a snippet of code THAT OPEN on the internet,
I normally don't care much about copyright,
because IMO the original poster also didn't.
But maybe that's too simple minded.
Thanks for your advice
Kind regards
Bernd

using this as keyword and a well known search engine,
I found a REXX (from a french site), which I will try tomorrow.
This could be of interest to others, so here is the REXX (unedited,
no warranty),
including some original french comments:
A link, instead of copying the code, would have been better. If the
code hasn't been marked as free to use and copy, this is a possible
copyright violation. Just as bad, the person who wrote this code has
gotten no recognition for it, which is a probable violation even if it
was covered by a Creative Commons license. And, if the coder improves
the program, people who take the code from IBM-Main will not have
those improvements.
I like the idea of having code where it can be found. A few programs
on the CBT tape are mine. But I *chose* to submit them, and they have
my name on them. Just because it's on the Internet does not mean it's
not copyright.
OTOH, I congratulate you on finding this code, and thank you for
letting us all know it exists.
