Example of using NEWSTACK with an Interactive Command

EXEC1

PUSH prompt1

PUSH prompt2

CALL sub1

..

.

EXIT

SUB1:

'NEWSTACK'

'ALLOCATE'

..

.

Note:

To have an interactive command prompt the user for input from the terminal,
run an exec explicitly with the EXEC command and specify

prompt

or include

the PROMPT(on) function within the exec. For more information, see
“Causing Interactive Commands to Prompt the User” on page 100.

Deleting a Private Stack with the DELSTACK Command

When an exec wants to delete the new stack and remove all elements placed on
the new stack, it can issue the TSO/E REXX DELSTACK command. The
DELSTACK command removes the most recently created data stack. If no stack
was previously created with the NEWSTACK command, DELSTACK

removes all

the elements from the original stack.

Finding the Number of Stacks

To find out how many stacks exist, use the TSO/E REXX QSTACK command.
QSTACK returns in the REXX special variable RC, the total number of stacks
including the original data stack.

'NEWSTACK'

..

.

'NEWSTACK'

..

.

'QSTACK'

SAY 'The number of stacks is' RC

/* RC contains 3 */

QSTACK returns the total number of stacks, not just the ones created for a single
exec. Thus if an exec issued two NEWSTACK commands and called a routine that
issued two more, when the routine issues a QSTACK command, RC returns the
total number of stacks, which is five.

For more information about these commands, see

z/OS TSO/E REXX Reference
