You need to use the ALLOC command to define the datasets you use and write to. This is some code I use to copy to a temporary ISPF profile to pre-allocated ISPTLIB (obviously you'll need to allocate it and change the data-class and sysout class); "Alloc Fi(SYSPRINT) Sysout(Z) Reu" "Alloc...

I have done things like that, and recommend calling it as a protected subroutine.

That's exactly what I wanted thanks!

Thanks Frank. I made a job that set a highest return code of 12 and then ran the code after that step then as part of it and didn't get the result I wanted.

This is a known problem in batch ISPF where you try and access the ISPSPROF from the ISPTLIB and other jobs are using it even though the disp is share. See http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg1II02949 for details. What you can do is allocate ISPTLIB to a temporary dataset then use a...

Does anyone know the offsets of the highest return code in a job that can be accessed using the storage function? I have written a mini batch scheduler using REXX and it's basically a step that runs at the end of a job and sets a completed flag in a dataset. I was hoping to use storage to...

Well it looks like the problem is the dataset level you are listing doesn't exist. If you don't use quotes the ListC lists datasets prefixed with your userid, e.g. MYID.XXXX.XXXXDS47.IOFLIST as Frank mentioned. However, you need to bear in mind that ListC lists dataset levels - if you are...

Frank, wouldn't Space do it regardless of the position of the blank? line = Space(line, 0)

I took did a cut and paste of your code and it works for me. Maybe you need a REXX identifier or are trying to run this as a CList? You are using the right dataset qualifier (please don't consider this insulting - just covering all bases). You should show what error you received.

You need to remember that the difference is that data in a table is structured in rows and not data like in ISPF edit. Because each row contains data in keys or names, it's not such a simple task as you need to look for the string in either a specific key or name, or all. I would use something...

You need to use the ALL operand to get the volume. In REXX it would look something like this; Call Outtrap 'OUT.' "ListC Lev('MY.DSN') All" Call Outtrap 'OFF' do i = 1 to OUT.0 select when index(OUT.i, 'NONVSAM') > 0 then , say 'Dataset - 'word(OUT.i, words(OUT.i)) when...

Have you tried using RXSUBCOM? I haven't done OOREXX for years, but I found this in the help files; RXSUBCOM LOAD loads a subcommand handler dynamic-link library. >>-RXSUBCOM---LOAD---envname---+---------+--------------------->< '-dllname-' Parameters...

NewBee, from your original post I get the impression you are trying to display a panel (as Frank explained) but also trying to do IOF work (from the title and the 'address iof' line). IOF has a REXX interface but I haven't been inclined to find out how it works so maybe if you explain what...

Hi. Upone reflection I realised that you are trying to run this from a rule. OPS/MVS has 3 area's of execution - from a RULE (what you're doing), from OPSOSF (a TSO address space started task that runs alongside OPS/MVS), and from TSO itself. From memory you can't make the RULE execution too...

I assume you're talking about an OPS/MVS rule and it's been a while since I had the pleasure of using it, but I believe you can trap the messages with an output trap if it doesn't queue the results. Something like; Call Outtrap 'RESP.' Address 'OPER' "D J,L" Call Outtrap 'OFF' Do i = 1 to...
