How do I stop these message if mistakenly done that? Attention key does help in this.

Thank you so much!

What about the people who are already using these codes? They have it already right?

Hi,

I used to have may of the Doug Nadel's REXX with me but it seems his website if no working now. And I don't have the backup of those REXXs in my new company, does anyone of you have them with you?

My REXX is an edit macro and I have used the TRACE I like this: /* REXX EDIT MACRO */ /* EXPAND ALL COPY STATEMENTS IN A COBOL PROGRAM */ TRACE I ADDRESS ISREDIT "MACRO PROCESS" /* ============================================================ */ .. There is more code after that.

Hi,

I have written a REXX code which I want to debug. I used TRACE I but for some reason it does not seem to work. I mean when I execute the code it does not go in tracer? What can be the reason?
