RE: Feed result set into a command

["Metz, Zak" <Zak_Metz@xxxxxx>]

I appreciate the idea! And I had forgotten that my fav Net.Data has the REXX 
language environment. I may check that out. For the short run, I'll make it a 
Net.Data macro and use my wrapper to call it from the command line (the same 
way I capture my pages into the cache nightly...code I'm happy to share if 
anyone ever needs it). Oh, and since this question is regarding my "weekend 
gig" www.distortion.us, approval is redundant.
 
Regards,

LOL, Buck

At my own joke!

Actually, I was __mostly__ having fun. I really like REXX. Using it as a
command processing program is cool..However, if evoking it with STRREXPRC,
it may not be the best choice for repetitive actions - it IS interpreted
and the STRREXPRC is a dynamic call - like good ol' OPM.
