There have been a lot of cases where z/OS was behind z/VSE.
First, a CA level backup/restore program for VSAM that was offered to
z/OS
cross-partition communications using CICS as a FOR/DOR. And,
it's all IBM code that could be ported to z/OS is the z/OS developers
would get off their high-horses and ask for the code.

Dang it, how is it that the fine VSE developers
did the same thing, but did it differently using an output
'subsystem'. Then, IBM had to catch up, but they again did it
differently. They have continued to diverge.

Now, that is a bunch of BS.
Old timers do want to learn new things, but...
Our minds have been trained over many year
look at 'logic'.
Regular Expressions are more 'magic' than 'logic'. :-)
My boss a favorite expression when things conflict with previous training:
"My just hurts my brain!"
I can say positively that I tried to understand Regular Expressions and
all it did was make my brain hu

parms = "aaa bbb ccc ) ddd eee"
options = ''
localopts = ''
If this might happen, you would need:
parse value arg with part1 ')' localopts
parse var part1 parms ')' options
parse var parms parm1 parm2 parm3 parm4 parm5 .
parse var options opt1 opt2 opt3 opt4 opt5 opt6 .
parse var localopts
Thanks to everyone that gave me information. We are now in contact with
our sales rep.
