- Application data allows to create an ASCII file. The
end of the data set is marked by the file name. This
is a convenient way to keep the data set and the macro
together.
- The file tmp.dat can be read immediately after the
Application DATA .
- The command
SHELL
allows to pass a command to the
local operating system. Here the temporary file tmp.dat
is removed (UNIX syntax).
