I'd like to thank everyone for their many suggestions.
WOLFGANG_KINSCHER@HP-Austria came up with a 'winning' solution
that I have adapted to our use. (Mr. Kinscher is responsible for
the clever code in Step 2). For those of you who might be interested,
I have included a copy of my new SUBMIT command file that performs
the 'flexible' stream function.
Basically, SUBMIT works are follow:
1) receives the parameter list,
2) Calls itself again with the STEP 2 argument,
3) Creates a new temporary file using File Equates and FCOPY,
4) Uses INPUT to read the 1st line from the stream file,
5) Protects the leading '!' and passes the 1st line through
the ECHO facility to evaluate the HP Variables and redirects
the output to the temporary file,
6) exits back to step 1,
7 step 1 appends the rest of the stream file (minus the now
fixed up 1st line) to the temporary stream file,
8) builds a TIMESPEC parameter if deferred streaming was wanted,
9) streams the temporary file.
