That's great thanks ! I don't know what happened on the 22nd of
April, but I can finally set the COMMIT option in REXX.
Which is EXACTLY what you did previously. This is a perfect example
of what irritates me about so many of the questions on this list.
You had the same problem less than 6 months ago. You asked about it
here and were directed how to solve it. That SHOULD have been a
LEARNING experience! Now it's happened again and you can't remember
the resolution. That's the problem with "quick" answers. Better that
someone is directed where to find the resolution so THEY have to do
some work to solve it. Then there is at least some minor hope they
might LEARN from the experience instead of simply resolve, move on,
and forget. A similar effect is found by pointing out the stupidity
of certain questions. It sticks in the mind (of most people) even if
it also sticks in their craw. That's LEARNING!
Seems to me you couldn't even recall that you HAD this problem which
might have triggered a search of the archives or perhaps your own e-
mail folders. Hell, even if you didn't recall that you, personally,
had this problem, a search for 7008 (or better: 7008 rexx) in the
archives would have found a resolution and your question would have
been entirely unnecessary. You would have solved it yourself.
As the trailer on EVERY post from the list says:
