Parsing

This section describes differences between TSO/E REXX and NetMaster REXX parsing, as implemented in the ARG, PARSE, and PULL instructions.

NetMaster REXX handles all parsing template options as documented by TSO/E REXX.

The following are some considerations:

• Relative positional patterns (for example, +35) must have no spaces between the sign and the number.
• If breaking a parsing template across source lines, leave a blank after the last template specification, before the comma that signifies continuation to the next line.
