Testing EXECs with SHARED variables

Another technique you might use is to use the IMFEXEC VPUT statement to put variables into the SHARED variable pool instead of the LOCAL variable pool. For example, instead of using this statement:

REXX EXEC example:

 IMFEXEC VPUT (WORD1 WORD2  WORD4) LOCAL

CLIST example:

 IMFEXEC VPUT (WORD1 WORD2  WORD4) LOCAL

you can use the following statement:

REXX EXEC example:

 IMFEXEC VPUT (WORD1 WORD2  WORD4) SHARED

CLIST example:

 IMFEXEC VPUT (WORD1 WORD2  WORD4) SHARED

By placing the variables WORD1, WORD2, and WORD3 into the SHARED pool, you can verify the values that were substituted. Use the following command to see how the variables were resolved in the SHARED pool. After you have verified them, you can then adjust your EXEC to put the variables back to the LOCAL pool.

.D V SHARED
