Just be glad we do have a REXX API to invoke SDSF 😊

Character is what you are, reputation merely what others think you are.” - - - John Wooden -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> On Behalf Of Phil Smith III Sent: Thursday, June 13, 2024 1:40 PM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: As a long-time Rexx programmer ...am I the only one who SMH at the documentation for things like ISFEXEC (https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/2.4.0?topic=language-issuing-commands-isfexec)? It reads like it was written by someone who doesn't quite understand how variables/literals work in Rexx: -- You issue commands with the ISFEXEC host command as follows: Address SDSF "ISFEXEC sdsf-command (options)" sdsf-command is a supported SDSF command, including any parameters. If the command contains special characters or blanks, enclose it in single quotation marks. -- The rest of the doc seems to be similar. If only IBM had some Rexx experience.oh, wait. Yes, I'm being snide, but this is just grim. And embarrassing. I realize unlikely to be fixed at this late date, of course. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
