<A NAME="VALID_TARGET(TARGET[,ANYTHING])"></A>
<DT>
<h3>valid_target(target[,anything])</h3>
</DT>
<DD> The first argument is the <A HREF = "glossary.html#TARGET">target</A>  to be validated. If a second, optional argument is supplied, the target to be validated can consist of a target followed by any optional characters. This can be useful if the arguments to a macro consist of a target followed by another argument. If a valid target is supplied, the remainder of the string passed to valid_target() is returned following the first line affected and the number of lines to the target. <P></DD>
<DD> Returns  <I>ERROR</I>  if the supplied target is invalid. Returns  <I>NOTFOUND</I>  if the supplied target is valid, but not found. <P></DD>
<DD> If a valid target, returns the first line affected by the target followed by the number of lines to the target, and optionally the remainder of the argument. eg. <P></DD>
<DD> if the focus line is 12 and valid_target() is called as <P></DD>

<A NAME="RUN_OS(COMMAND[,STDIN_STEM[,STDOUT_STEM[,STDERR_STEM]]])"></A>
<DT>
<h3>run_os(command[,stdin_stem[,stdout_stem[,stderr_stem]]])</h3>
</DT>
<DD> This function allows the macro writer to call an operating system command and have the standard streams;  <I>stdin</I> ,  <I>stdout</I>  and  <I>stderr</I>  redirected to or from REXX arrays. <P></DD>
<DD> The first argument is the operating system command to execute. The command can include any command line switches appropriate to the command. <P></DD>
<DD> All other arguments comprise a stem name (including a trailing  <I>.</I> ) which refers to the REXX arrays where  <I>stdin</I> ,  <I>stdout</I>  and  <I>stderr</I>  are to be redirected. <P></DD>
<DD> As with all REXX arrays, the value of the 0th element (stem.0) contains the number of elements in the array. <P></DD>
<DD> The only restriction with the names of the stem variables is that the stem name for the  <I>stdin</I>  stem cannot be the same as the stem for  <I>stdout</I>  or  <I>stderr</I> . <P></DD>
<DD> The stem name for  <I>stdout</I>  and  <I>stderr</I>  can be the same; the contents of the resulting output stems will consist of  <I>stdout</I>  and  <I>stderr</I>  in the order that the command generates this output. <P></DD>
<DD> Return values: <P></DD>
<DD> 0    - successful </DD>
<DD> 1005 - invalid argument or syntax </DD>
<DD> 1012 - problems with system redirection of streams </DD>
<DD> 1094 - out of memory </DD>
<DD> 1099 - error interfacing to REXX interpreter </DD>
<DD> all other numbers, return code from operating system command <P></DD>
