PULL and PARSE EXTERNAL Statements

The REXX PULL and PARSE EXTERNAL terminal I/O input statements use CICS Terminal Control support to provide simulated line-mode input.
Note:
  1. PULL (or PARSE PULL) first attempts to pull a line from the program stack and, only if it is empty, issues a read to the terminal.
  2. Attempting to perform terminal line-mode input from a REXX exec that is running as part of a non-terminal attached transaction, is an error, which causes the exec to terminate with an error message.
