Hi

I am trying to put some Z variables using the VPUT service , but the values are not being stored .I am able to see the variables but not their values.

Like the panel used in ISPF is as follows:

!Employee Name .... _Z +
!Employee Dept ...... _Z +
!Employee Salary ...._Z +

)INIT
.ZVARS = '(MNAME,MDEP,MSAL)'

)PROC
VPUT ( MNAME MDEP MSAL) PROFILE
)END

In the ispf profile dataset ,there are entries for MNAME,MDEP and MSAL , but values are not stored for these entries which i enter through the above panel.Can anybody help?

Thanks
Sabarish

I am trying the ISPF program first time.so i was working based on another code.In that there is no INPUT attribute used and that is working fine.

Thanks
Sabarish

If you want your data to be kept, you probably need to define it first as input. For this you must use the INPUT attribute.
To read more about panel attributes, please refer to the fine manual.

Something else is going on here. How do you know that the variables are not being saved? Did you check option 7.3 to see if they are there? Are you starting the program from the same appliation id each time? Make sure that you are not displaying the panel with CONTROL ERRORS RETURN so that you will see errors. Also be sure that your program is not initializing them before the panel is displayed. I think you can do an explicit VGET in the INIT section but tha may not be true.

Thanks semigeezer. I checked in 7.3 option also. The variables are not being saved.Not using CONTROL ERRORS RETURN also.Not intializing before the panel.I had also tried using VGET in INIT section but that also not working.

Can you help me?

Sabarish,

How are you invoking the panel and reading the variables? Are you using NEWAPPL? If so, try without it.

Hi Mervyn
Thanks for the suggestion. I am not using NEWAPPL. I am invoking the panel as follows:

'ISPEXEC LIBDEF SYSEXEC DATASET ID('''MYEXEC''')'
'ISPEXEC LIBDEF ISPPLIB DATASET ID('''MYEXEC''')'
'ISPEXEC DISPLAY PANEL(TEST)'

Thanks
