Example 2 Part 1 - Using the OUTTRAP Function
/**************************** REXX *********************************/
/* This exec adds a data set to the front of the data sets in the */
/* SYSPROC concatenation. It first asks for the name of the data */
/* set to add, then it finds all data sets currently allocated to */
/* SYSPROC, adds the new data set to the beginning and re-allocates*/
/* the concatenation to SYSPROC. */
/*******************************************************************/
SAY 'Enter the fully-qualified data set name you want added'
SAY 'to the beginning of the SYSPROC concatenation. Do NOT'
SAY 'place quotation marks around the data set name.'

/* Output goes to variables beginning with 'name.'*/

/*******************************************************************/
/* Loop through the lines of trapped command output to find lines */
/* 9 characters long or longer. Check those lines for the word */
/* SYSPROC until it is found or until all lines have been checked. */
