Mostly I use stems to read input files in Rexx and to store output data. Have done for about 33 years. In those days, IIRC, if you left any records/lines on the data queue, it used to try to execute them as commands after the end of the Rexx (failed or not). And I think it worked differently in VM/CMS and TSO/ISPF.
Recently, I borrowed someone's Rexx (to improve) that was using 'queue' instead. Imagine my surprise when:-
- it didn't try to execute the stored lines after a failure
- it kept these lines in storage for the next execution
Does anyone know when this started? I must be getting old if I'm looking back on 44 years in mainframes! |
