ZOC REXX how to send server output to file
REXX by itself has no I/O model. All I/O services have to be provided by the environment in which the REXX code is operating. Thus in VM and MVS, REXX uses EXECIO to read and write data. Some implementations of REXX support CHARIN, CHAROUT, LINEIN, and LINEOUT. Your best bet is to see what... -
COBOL SEQQUENTIAL FILE TO CSV
Too bad he wants to do it in COBOL and not in REXX. It's about 8 lines in REXX. Frank Clarke --America's source for adverse opinions since 1943.- rexxhead

The best way to treat cancer is early detection. The second best way is surgery. Good luck. Get well soon. See you next year. Frank Clarke --America's source for adverse opinions since 1943.- rexxhead

REXX data manipulation
Is it that you only want one entry per date, or do you want to have all entries for a given date shown together? If you can provide a more precise 'spec', there are several followers here who can provide direction. Frank Clarke --America's source for adverse opinions since 1943. -
REXX program skips an input record
I recommend running this with Trace(?R) so that you can see the results of each read as it occurs. This may give you enough information to understand what's happening. Aside, I'm curious that line 79 terminates with a "+" rather than a "-". It has been a long time since I dealt with... -
FTP upload adds (version indicator)
I'm using CrossFTP and WS_FTP, and when I upload a replacement file, sometimes the new file shows up as (e.g.:) FILENAME(#).txt Naturally, when I click a link to that file, it isn't found because the HTML doesn't specify the name by which the file exists on the remote directory. This doesn't...- rexxhead

Automated escape sequence ZOC
Trying to wrap my head around this question and not knowing anything about a ZOC emulator... At some point, your script will relinquish control to ZOC (whatever that is) and won't have control again until ZOC returns or ABENDs. I'm guessing there isn't a callable function that issues the... -
select no. of rows from a table.
Yes, ISPF is more than a graphical interface — more like a 'suite'. See my REXX blog where I blend REXX and ISPF if you're interested. So your question is directed at DB2 tables with which I am barely noddingly familiar. Frank Clarke --America's source for adverse opinions since 1943.- rexxhead

Why people behave this way...
When I was just a little programmer, I got assigned a project where the desired result was a printed report showing (whatever). I listened to the client describe what he wanted, took notes, then went off to write some code. What I produced was not to the clients liking, so I did the whole...- rexxhead

Why can't I invoke this external routine?
No, standard REXX doesn't include the notion of a library of external routines, dammit, nor does it allow (as PL/I and COBOL) to INCLUDE blocks of external text. The latter, in fact, would practically eliminate the need for the former. Oh, how I would love to be able to /* REXX Routine */... -
Why can't I invoke this external routine?
Maybe at 78 I'm just starting to show signs of dementia. I copied yours just to prove it works in my environment. It worked. I copied my original, excised the internal SQRT code, and moved the complex multiplication outside the call and just did "area = SQRT(x)". It worked. I modified the... -
Why can't I invoke this external routine?
Does it work if you eliminate the 'rexx' and the '.rex'? c:\00_mikrom\Work\REXX>caller_01? That's how I'm calling it: F:\REXX\ooREXXcode>hero 13 14 15 A triangle with sides 13 14 15 has an area of 84 Frank Clarke --America's source for adverse opinions since 1943.
