I posted to IBM-MAIN and to IBMVM about this. Thought I had posted here too but can't seem to find it. (The mind ... always the first thing to go.)
Minor events in a GitHub project drove me to re-visit doing 'XMITMSG' on Unix/Linux circa Thanksgiving. This is a re-do. I had written a POSIX 'xmitmsg' command some time back. (Way way back, but let's not think about time wasted and time lost.) So the current project is "version 2". I'll skip the story of how I was first introduced to enumerated message processing with replaceable tokens. I WILL say that I was SHOCKED a few years ago to find that MVS doesn't have it. (And I don't know VSE well enough. Does it similarly lack? Let's not think about ideas IBM wasted and ideas IBM lost.) But the current code has been tested on USS. Works! So there is hope. Might work on TSO and batch. No reason it should not. Anyway ... the point ... after much private tinkering and a couple public releases, the 2.0.19 release is on the web site ... http://www.casita.net/pub/xmitmsgx/xmitmsgx-2.0.19.tar.gz If you're into Git, you can pull from here ... https://github.com/trothr/xmitmsgx And presumably one can view the project even if one does not have a GitHub account. (try it) Several people have contributed and/or shared their interest. Much appreciation to them.
