Hi, Doug:

But, I am not running in the S/36 Environment (never have, never will...) ?

I never worked on a "real" System/36 either. I came over from IBM mainframes (MVS, VSE, VM) directly to OS/400 circa 1989.

Mark,

You can type "//" at the beginning of pretty much any OS/400 command,
for example, type:

// DSPJOB

on any command line and then press Enter.

It just ignores the "//" in this case.


What it actually does is try to parse it as an OCL statement (which on the
S/36, begins with //) and when the next word is not a valid OCL command,
will look for a command by the same name. This is because the S36EE lets
you embed native commands in OCL procedures.

You'd have a problem if your command name happened to match a valid OCL
statement because then it would be parsed as if OCL instead of a command.
