And the parentheses need to be protected from the shell, and if "dsn" mentions
a PDS member more parentheses need to be protected.
I sometimes post Rexx examples untested (with apologia). This one I tested.
One might wonder, "Why was OP doing it this (Byzantine) way?"
One plausible answer: This is the simplest (only?) form that works in all of:
o TSO TMP
o shell
o IRXJCL
I keep a UNIX directory in my SYSEXEC. Unsupported; IBM told me so when
I submitted an ETR. But it mostly works except for a few program checks,
always when a command successfully completes, and never more than once
per ISPF session. I endure those, rather than replicate EXECs in PDS and
UNIX directories. Substance for a SER here, perhaps.
