Thanks for the reply - yup, practice IS the best way

Good luck, someone will be here when there are questions.

Mr xboss instead of the condescending reply did You care to try to understand my reply ???
looks like not :evil:

I have a requirement to accomplish with my REXX code. Reason for providing that subject, I was trying to being transparent regarding where these data came from. I hope I have mentioned clearly what am I expecting my REXX code to do here. Thank you for the feedback.

horse manure

the requirement is to provide results...

and seemed clear that I did not question REXX usage but the source of the info

since we reply on our own time, free of charge and we share experience
we provide solutions according to out best judgement and best practices
if You want poor solutions based on poor requirements and poor analysis hire a paid consultant
who for the proper fee will work with a RNoN to give You the replies You expect :mrgreen:

Also your REXX code is somewhat inefficient, you are writing out EXECIO DISKW when you could QUEUE the result and write them all at the end, using QUEUED().

I beg to disagree, or better REXX disagrees

using queue results in a double data movement
queue ==> <write> to the stack
execio ==> <read> from the stack, <write> to the file

here is the result of my tests from best to worst

1) EXECIO the stem with all the records
2) QUEUE all RECORDS / execio

3) EXECIO each record
4) QUEUE & EXECIO each record

all the test were run writing 100000 records

case 1 fill the stem, one execio for the whole stem

even if I am still of the opinion that the approach sucks

here is a snippet on how to handle unknown <keys>
just to show lateral coding techniques :mrgreen:

NOT TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION to the TS

too bad that TSO rexx needs to handle an auxiliary variable to hold the list of the stem variables used for the the entities processed
OBJECT REXX provides a very smart

do k over stemroot.
