For the second stem variables, you have to further qualify them when referring 
to them.

e.g. s.1.1

Working example:
/* REXX */
call syscalls 'ON'
dir = '/etc'
address syscall "readdir (dir) dir1. dir2."
do j = 0 to dir1.0
   say dir1.j
   end
do j = 1 to dir1.0
   say dir2.j.1 dir2.j.2 dir2.j.3 dir2.j.4 dir2.j.5 dir2.j.6 dir2.j.7
   say dir2.j.8 dir2.j.9 dir2.j.10 dir2.j.11 dir2.j.12 dir2.j.13
   end
call syscalls 'OFF'
exit

I don't know without looking in the manual what all the dir2.x.y variables are!

Regards and thanks
Paul

Subject: readdir ?

I'm trying to use the readdir command in rexx and it is partially working and 
partially not.



This is what I've tried - both with the d. s. in quotes and not in quotes.
The d. returns data and the s. does not.  The doc implies that s. should return 
statistics info on the respective directory entry from d.



Please advise - I'm sure it is something trivial I'm missing.  I've looked 
around and seen examples like that that work so it could be my old eyes not 
seeing something.



/* rexx */

 dir = '/u/me/git/zigi'

 address syscall 'readdir' dir 'd. s.'

 say d.0 s.0



Thanks in advance
