Paul, I haven't used REXX to FTP files the way you've described. I have
kicked off a batch job to run an FTP step and on our Z/os box the secure
FTP is built-in. As it turns out - regarding the comments/color problem
- ANY character I type between the comments and the next valid SAS line
momentarily causes color code to return - until the line becomes
recognized as a valid SAS statement - then the minimal-color-code
problem returns.

Hey Zak -
Don't know why the color changes - in v912 it doesn't.
BTW - hope you don't mind an off-L question - have you ever written a
REXX script for a secure FTP transfer from MVS? We're working with a
group from Stanford (Sphere/Acumen) and they are leaning towards this as
a solution to a regular data transfer they need.
I'm interested in launching such a script from SAS but REXX is outside
my knowledge area.
thanks

Dear SAS-L;
I have simplified the comments section for clarity.
The comments as they are shown below have a problem
of minimizing any following SAS color-code. But if
I put a forward slash to the right of any of the 3
following right-most forward slashes. The SAS color
code following the comments returns to normal.
Anyone know/see why? It's from Windows XP SAS 8.2.
