|
|
Hi
I'm new to the rexx programming. Im trying to create a pds and creating multiple members in that pds. The following code is creating multiple members depends upon the number of members that the user enters. But after creating one member, whenever we press enter then only it is going to the loop and creating another member. Could you please let me know how to create multiple members without pressing enter.
Code: |
/*REXX*/
SAY 'ENTER NUMBER OF MEMBERS'
PULL NUM
SAY NUM
K = NUM
COUNT1 = 0
ADDRESS TSO
"ALLOC DA('"TEST.X99.XXXX.XREXX5"') F(OUTDD)
NEW SPACE(10,20) DIR(100) TRACKS REUSE"
J=1
DO K = 1 TO NUM
IF K > 1 THEN
DO
J = J + 1
END
MEMBER = ' '
MEMBER = 'MEM'||0||J
DSNNAME = 'TEST.X99.XXXX.XREXX5' || '('||MEMBER||')'
QUEUE "MEMBER"
"ALLOC DA('"DSNNAME"') F(OUTDD) SHR REUSE"
"EXECIO * DISKW OUTDD (FINIS)"
END |

It would help if you used the code tags when posting code - they will retain indentation.
I don't know why you put your j = j + 1 within a DO/END construct or why you blank out MEMBER and then recreate it - the recreation will replace the previous contents.
To avoid hitting <enter> use the write option of EXECIO properly - give the exact number of lines to write. _________________ Utility and Program control cards are NOT, repeat NOT, JCL. |

kirank,
1. Please post your questions in the appropriate forum. A REXX question does NOT belong in Application Programming. It belongs in TSO and ISPF. I have moved the topic to TSO and ISPF
2. Use meaningful topics (don't use the Forum name for the topic). Use a descriptive Title to explain your problem. Post detailed information on what you're trying to accomplish. Do not make people guess what you mean. This will give you a much better chance of getting a good answer to your question. I edited the title for you.
3. As Nic pointed out, Please learn to use code tags. Here is a link to the topic that describes how code tags needs to be used. I added them for you. From next time you need to code them by yourselves.

4. As Nic pointed out you need to have execio the number of records you want to write. if your intention is to write a single record then you simply have "EXECIO 1 DISKW OUTDD (FINIS)" and you wouldn't require pressing the ENTER key _________________ Kolusu - DFSORT Development Team (IBM)
