SAY and TRACE

The SAY and TRACE instructions write data to the output stream. As was true for the PUSH and QUEUE instructions, REXX will guarantee the SO-SI pairs are kept for any data that is separated to meet the requirements of the output stream. The SAY and TRACE instructions display data on the user's terminal. As was true for the PUSH and QUEUE instructions, REXX will guarantee the SO-SI pairs are kept for any data that is separated to meet the requirements of the terminal line size. This is generally 130 bytes or fewer if the DIAG-24 value returns a smaller value.

When the data is split up in shorter lengths, again the DBCS data integrity is kept under OPTIONS EXMODE. In EBCDIC, if the terminal line size is less than 4, the string is treated as SBCS data, because 4 is the minimum for mixed string data.
