This function of BRexx/370 returns zilch (i.e., nothing). It’s more of a DOS related function. If there are no future plans for this Built-In Function then maybe it should be removed? Or, maybe as a BRexx/370 BIF it can be retooled to return the session’s dataset’s high-level qualifier as USERID() which can be construed to be the defacto directory of sorts within a TSO/CMS user session? Although, we already have BIFs that will return the userid (such as USERID(), SYSVAR(), etc.) Or, maybe it’s fine just as is? However, I think it deserved mentioning.
