There isn’t an R0 issue. IRXINIT(‘FINDENVB’) will fetch the environment block.
All of the REXX mapping macros have been converted to C structures and can be
found in /usr/include/zos (there is a PDS/E but I can’t remember what it's
called). FWIW, writing external functions in C/C++ is a bad idea
My advice is to write a command processor. As I said creating an LE environment
for each function call will result in terrible performance. I’ve done this many
times https://github.com/daveyc/RTK. The trick is to use CEEPIPI to create a
pre-initialised LE environment and hang the pointer in USER
There's a TSO/E vector table that has the address of the REXX routines.
// get the address of the TSO/e vector table
CVT * cvt = *(( CVT ** ) CVTPTR);
TSVT * tsvt = cvt->cvttvt;
// IKJTSVT.H - TSO/E Vector Table mapping

Henri,
That’s what ended up doing , thank you, I appreciate any help.
Maybe a bit of a misunderstanding here. I think what Henri was
suggesting was using a UNIX shell that pipes messages to /dev/console

Sorry to nitpick Scott but "Sysplex" is a poor subject line for
newsgroup thread!
You should try to write more specific subject lines such as "Sharing
storage subpools in a Sysplex" which makes it much easier to understand
the context of threads.

Is bash required? Why doesn't the POSIX shell with OMVS suffice?
Or is this a requirement of git core?

Yes! It's the default shell on a lot of Linux systems like Ubuntu when
you add a new user. Although, most admins will assign a different shell
such as zsh or bash using the "useradd" command
default MacOS shell. (I still
use bash - in a basic way - and see no impetus to move.)

Hi Billy,
Permanent ISPF tables reside in a PDS data set which will have to be
sized appropriately. If the ISPF table is keyed then you have big
problems. ISPF tables are basically just linked lists and not dictionaries,
so if they are keyed I would advise you to use VSAM.

Unfortunately, x3270 and c3270 really suck! You won't find a native 3270
emulator on macOS that's any good. That may change as the web based 3270
emulators get better (Zowe has one).
Guys with Macs in my team use Windows 3270 emulators running on Wine.

The XLC compiler supports named operands in __asm blocks which are much

Probably time for RTFM, which begs the question of which FM to R.

Joseph,
Couple of things I would comment on. First, don't use macros instead of
functions. It's an anti-pattern unless you need to generate code. If you
want to inline code for efficiency reasons then just use "static inline"
in a header file.
Secondly, I would take a look at how this is don
WSA is the writable static area. If your using static variables in your

in the manual which I suggest you read. Metal/C is a tricky environment
to use if you expect it to be just like using LE C.
