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...

I have the following subroutine (ooREXX on Windows): /* REXX external subroutine */ /* ----------------------------------------------------------------- */ SQRT: /*@ */ arg nbr . parse var nbr...

Is anybody running REXX on their PC and willing to help me get to that point? Frank Clarke --America's source for adverse opinions since 1943.

When excluding a list of things, I always "neither A nor B nor C nor D". Recently, I had a set-to with a colleague who changed that to "neither A nor B or C or D". I can see that she was thinking "neither A nor (B or C or D)", but I feel that this construction allows for some ambiguity, and I...

I just recently got access to a mainframe (again) and I intend to keep an eye on this group, so if anyone has a problem, post away! Frank Clarke --America's source for adverse opinions since 1943.

I just checked back in to Tek-Tips and realized that lots and lots of my old posts have bad references to code examples. They're bad because the websites where they were stored have gone away for one reason or another. My main website is http://frankclarke.dx.am/ and there are hotlinks from...

I'm having a hard time loading a variable-length file to a newly-built KSDS. It looks like REPRO is considering the 4-byte RDW as part of the record. As soon as it encounters a record shorter than the one before, it blows up with an I/O error (IDC3351I rc=108). I've tried offsetting the key...

Something weird is happening. This is less a REXX question than it is an RXVSAM question. I have a VSAM KSDS and I add a record to it: vrc = RXVSAM("OPENOUTPUT","$VS","KSDS") vrc = RXVSAM("WRITE","$VS",@key,"NEWREC") vrc = RXVSAM("CLOSE","$VS") vrc = RXVSAM("OPENINPUT","$VS","KSDS") vrc =...

Drop me a line at rexxhead at yahoo etc. Mid-level REXX+ISPF. Frank Clarke --America's source for adverse opinions since 1943.

Although not yet gainfully re-employed, I have decided to get to work publishing tips and tricks in REXX and so have started a blog: REXXpertise and I have promised myself to try to make a daily post. All y'all are, of course, invited over to see what's happening, maybe FOLLOW it, and make...

Gary D (zSoftware) asks: Never?? A: Right, never. There's always enough information available to make that asterisk unnecessary. If you're working with a stem, you've been counting how many things went into zork.index, otherwise how do you know what 'index' is? So: "EXECIO" index "DISKW...

Does anyone have any tested code for computing the date 6 months ago? The problem I'm running into is that 6 months before Aug 31st is February 31st. Frank Clarke Tampa Area REXX Programmers' Alliance REXX Language Assn Listmaster

I have this vague memory of a technique for finding out if SiteA has a link to SiteB. I thought I typed something like "linkto:www.yadayada.org" into a Yahoo or Google searchbar and got a report of which pages referenced yadayada.org. Was I hallucinating? Frank Clarke Tampa Area REXX...

I want to call a PL/I program from a REXX routine, but I want to avoid specifying the load library name. The library is NOT in the LINKLIST. I tried using TSOLIB without much success: specifying "*" for the DSN appears to work only for modules in the LINKLIST. Not specifying any DSN resulted...

I'm not even sure I'm asking this in the right forum. If not, pls point me to the right one... I have a WinXP machine and a PC-DOS7 machine, both Ethernet enabled. Is it possible to give (at least) one the ability to access the assets of the other? I'm a software-type, so if the answer...
