   Re: Capturing DCL output in symbol

   From: papa@sdf.org   
      
   I found that one way to do it is to put all the processing that uses the   
   command output inside subshells in the same PIPE command.   
      
   One shortcoming of this method is that it's very easy to go over the   
   maximum command element length allowed inside the PIPE. For my   
   procedure, I was able to get around this by choosing lexical functions   
   to minimize the length of the PIPE command.   
      
   Any other way to do this?
