I don't need it often, but it's pretty handy when I want to hard-code a table of data for the program to use. If the values are static enough, it makes sense to store them in the program's comments instead of in a separate dataset. --- Bob Bridges, robhbrid...@gmail.com, cell 336 382-7313 /*

Please send updates for the ispf tips/tricks. I've used the sourceline extensively - check out the LOADISPF exec on my site - copy it into your exec and then you can insert inline using control records ispf panels, msgs, skels, and clists and execs. All are copied to temp allocated libraries

Thank you. That looks like it would do the trick. I think I'll just use PUSH. I think I was remembering SAS, or maybe academic versions of PASCAL or FORTRAN > -Original Message- > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List On > Behalf Of Seymour J Metz > Sent: Friday, August 14, 2020 1:09 PM

I have this vague memory of being able to have data embedded inside a Rexx Exec. Some manner of data start and end delimiting lines and accessed via looping with PULL or PARSE. I know I can just PUSH or QUEUE data onto the stack, but that's not what I vaguely remember. Am I all wet, or just
