The Base Toolkit, Team Edition

The Base Toolkit, Team Edition allocates just two libraries: TOOLKIT.LIBRARY and TOOLKIT.LOADLIB. TOOLKIT.LIBRARY contains an ISPF dialog called "newuser" which is run by any person who wants their own set of Toolkit libraries. (Of course, they must have the correct authority to run the dialog.)

TOOLKIT.LOADLIB contains a few callable routines that you might find handy in general:

• Get today's date and format it as mm/dd/yy, or mm/dd/yyyy, yy/mm/dd, or yyyy/mm/dd
• Pass 12 bytes of data and get back the data in hex as xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx
• Clear the screen from a REXX exec or CLIST
• Debug subroutine calls by displaying what is really being passed

Each Toolkit generated by running "newuser" provides sample working programs written in Assembler, COBOL, C, and PL/I (except for language-specific toolkits).
