    Hello, OPS/MVS community! Feature PTF LU17034 brings you OPSHRVAR, a new callable OPS/REXX function that enables easy variable sharing between calling (parent) and called (child) OPS/REXX execs. This feature simplifies coordination between programs, enables more efficient inter-program communication, and reduces the need for complex data-passing mechanisms like global variables. For details, see OPSHRVAR Function.

    Nice.

    too bad that there's no option to share all AOF env variables at once, but they need to be converted to local vars first....
