Hi Murray,

I vaguely remember seeing a preprocessor macro a few months back that
purported to be a REXX-like PARSE statement for PL/I. I think it was
written by one of the German PL/I boffins (Eberhard Sturm perhaps?) and
was published in 'The PL/I Connection' newsletter.

If you have your back issues (mine didn't make it from the States) you
might care to check them for the source. They are also available in
.INF format from one of IBM's Compuserve forums and perhaps from one or
more of their ftp servers. I think the .INF file would be better than
hard-copy, since you could plagiarise the source directly using the
clipboard.

Regards

Dave
