Different result between normal rexx and compiled rexx

Hi guy's,

I have a rexx (mac01) wich is used as macro for editing some members in the Background. Working perfectly to change some huge source programms.

The rexx uses normal tso edit-commands like Change all x y 03 and Find next string, and also normal rexx code like If-Then-ELSE and so on.

It is executed by another rexx with:
"ISPEXEC EDIT DATASET("target") MACRO("mac01")"

Because the Job takes some time, i thougth about compiling the rexx to save some time. I compilled the rexx an run a test.
No changes in the programs where made.

So my question is, is it ever possible to compile these types of rexx programms and get a working object or are there restrictions so that a macro should not be compiled.

Regards, UmeySan

did You use the appropriate stub for binding ?
