Hi,
Does anyone still have a copy of the redbook SG24-5451

GV00 is absolute. For relative you specify foo(bar), where bar is 0, +baz
or -baz. The Initiator construct the name foo.GgggV00, where ggg is the

Samuel,
Relative gdg I believe is goovoo(-1), (+1), (0), etc specified in JCL. Is that
correct?
I did not think this was stored in the catalog, but resolved during job
initiation/allocation.
If not, then how and when is it resolved?

On Sun,
REXXTRY is very useful when you're unsure of the semantics of something in
REXX, and you certainly couldn't implement it without interpret. But interpret
should be used the way porcupines make love - very carefully.

I've found REXXTRY very appropriate when using INTERPRET.

For that type of problem, judicious use of trace i or trace ?i can make an
obscure bug obvious. I wish there were an equivalent method for detecting cases
where IBM documentation uses the same wording for a parameter pointing to foo
and a parameter pointing to the address of foo ;-(
Why not use
I endorse that; I have seen very few situations where interpret was appropriate.
For any code constructing variable names, either explicitly or with compound
variables, trace i is your friend.

Alas, EATTR=OPT only specifies that it may go on an EAV; if Allocation puts it

Time for an RFE. Is there any reason to limit the extended attribute values to

Slim chance the A618 could be an FTP error code, x'A618' is 42520 where 42
is function code (LOCSITE) and 520 would be the error reason. Long shot
but seems somewhat plausible use of reason code by FTP which can be
ill-behaved.

I am looking at some SMF 30 S222 ABEND completion codes. Most of them are
S222- as you would expect. A handful have a non-zero reason code, many
of them A618. The ABEND 222 documentation does not mention reason codes:
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSLTBW_2.4.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r4
GDG relative numbers are not resolved until allocation.

The *right* way to do things is to *record* the time as UTC and then *display*

It happens during the job. And you can't access by relative number
until the job completes. You can access by absolute number.

Agreed, although my wild guess is that the existing date field DS1CREDT is a
"local" date (yes, dates are the high-order digits of time, and therefore have
time zones) so they needed to stick with local time to have the date/time
combination make logical sense.

Lionel,
you can achieve that with VLUE as well. I think the problem with your
example is that the getting variable was not interpreted. I use this
syntax:
xArray = My_Array
Index = 4
LineNum = 8
/* OutVar.LineNum <== a previously set stem variable */
Interpret xArray'jCx = OutVar.LineNum'

True - what I'm hoping for is to be able to use Interpret to set a stem when
I provide the stem name. Since I can use Interpret to get the stem using a
value I provide I'd like to be able to set it.

So this works - can anyone help with the 2nd?

v.1 = 'abc';v.2 = 'def'
interpret 'var = v'.1
interpret 'var2 = v'.2
say var var2
But this doesn't:
