Ya this looks a lot simpler to understand and maintain than


PGM    (&file)
DCL     &FILE   *CHAR   10

CHKOBJ  &FILE   TYPE(*FILE)
MONMSG  (BLAH BLAH BLAH)  DO
CLRPFM  &FILE
ELSE    DO
CRTPF  &FILE
ENDDO


ENDPGM

OR something like that.  Error handling can be implemented.  Forwarding
of error can be implemented.  Native language(CL) doing what comes 
native(CL commands).

Call bound = little overhead

But the QCMDEXEC  is probably alot easer to read/maintain/debug 
TIC (tongue in cheek)

Is this a SYS/36 APP ??  or in other words Why are you creating files 
on the fly??

Quick trivia test.

Question:   How do you know the app you're working on is a converted 
SYS/36 app????

Ans. It has 3 job steps and it creates 8 temporary work files.

Love those RETAIN-S and RETAIN-J designs
