The macro I used to use when I was on a CMS system is as follows:

&TRACE
* MOVE CURSOR TO END OF CURRENT LINE
&COMMAND MAKEBUF
TRANSFER LINE LENGTH
&READ VARS &LINE &LEN
&COMMAND DROPBUF
&COL = &LEN + 1
CURSOR FILE &LIN &COL

(This is EXEC2; it was written before REXX came along.)  I don't remember
offhand which PF key I assigned it to.
