Hi Experts,

As always thanks a lot for all your help on my previous queries I had posted.

Well, I am stuck with a problem that I need to share stem variable across rexx programs and I read rexx manuals but could not find any useful information.

If anyone of you have a sample program on how to share global variables(may be simple variables or stem variables) across 2 rexx programs, it will be great(with or without using ISPF services).

Thanks again for all your help on this.

Regards,
- Amit.

In standard Rexx, there is not an architected way to do this. You can try Rob Scott's STEMPUSH and STEMPULL or you can probably work up your own way to put the items on the stack in one routine and pull then off in another. Or if efficiency isn't critical, you could do the same with a temporary file. I don't think I would use ISPF services for this for several reasons (naming conventions, variable and profile size limitations, variable access oddities in ISPF, etc).

Hi Semigeezer, thanks a lot for your prompt response. I will try the assembler routine as the idea of writing to a temp file might not suite my requirement.

Thanks a lot again for your help.
