Second, I've seen documentation that says REXX on VM/370 R6 is flaky.?
Fix it.???? (You'll need it for TCP/IP tools).
Firstly often on VM/370 in order when you try and "fix it" you uncover a
whole leaning tower of Pisa of missing bits of code.
I wonder where you read that. The REXX on VM/370 is solid. It may appear
flaky but what is flaky is the loadable "C" run time.
It stole the DOS active flag on the grounds no one uses DOS. The trouble is
VM uses the flag and if something crashes the store clean up routine messes
up and CMS has to be re-ipled.
There is a fix but you need to re-link everything that uses the "C" loadable
run-time and I havn't got round to doing this yet.
It¡¯s the one thing that makes CMS unreliable so its top of my list, well it
was until Yahoo broke things.
If any one needs it fixing quickly all the source and instructions are
available.
