I know this is the wrong forum to discuss this, but ... I've never understood that part of IRXINIT that uses a 1-bit flag (STORFL) to control use of the STORAGE function - full read/write function or none. I can understand needeing (or at least wanting) to prevent writing using STORAGE - especially in a multi-user address space, but there should be a read-only option vailable. Yes, I know STORAGE is an external function so it would require cooperation of that external function, but the environment executing IRXINIT is the same one providing the external function. It should know whether a read-only STORAGE function is provided. I'm too near the end of my career to see this situation change, but younger folk might consider submitting a Requirement Same comment goes for System REXX. Submit a Req that the STORAGE function be enabled for System REXX. At the very least, let it be an an installation option controlled by a PARMLIB member or some such.
