Users needed a simple way to display percentage free space on a set of DASD volumes identified by volser prefix. Simplest solution was to run our own SPACE command, trap the output, do some calculations, and display the answer. SPACE runs in subcommand mode, so issue SPACE followed by subcommands to get desired output.
I could not get this to work in REXX. As soon SPACE was entered, no subcommands would be read from the stack until I manually entered 'end'. That exited the SPACE command and lost all further processing opportunity. So I wrote a CLIST-first brand new one decades. I had to read the manual a lot, made many mistakes, but got it working because CLIST handles subcommand mode just fine. Question: did I really need to do that? . . .
