Re: CL/REXX Was: valid 5250 character set

Yikes, take something simple and make it complicated, have you ever really
looked at the CLI?
First off all the examples are in C, so unless you understand C pretty
well, enough said.

All I really want is cursor support, and the ability to send/receive
variables in CL from open source.  Knowing that's not likely to happen
as an IBM supplied update to CL, we have to find other methods of returning
a result set to CL.  Today we write to a temporary table then read the
table sequentially in CL.  Or as I suggested before, use a user space, or
other object.  That's up to the ingenuity of the developer.  The trick is
to make it simple enough to maintain and for others to use, and be
sufficiently robust enough to cover almost all the use cases.
