In my last project,I remember very well,we used to compile & Link edit Cobol & PL/I soure programs from ISPF editor.

If would appreciate if any one can share the Rexx code for those macros.

TIA

venkata Ramana Reddy,

On the ISPF primary menu you have 2 options.

Foreground (OPTION 4)
Batch (OPTION 5)

choose option 5

There you can choose in which language you want to compile .

It has ASSEMBLER,COBOL FORTRAN,PL/I , VPASCAL....

Choose the option based on your language and it will generate the JCL for you.

Hope this helps...

cheers

Kolusu,
Thanks.Hope I am not clear with what I want.OK this is what I am exactly looking at ....

I want to compile the source code without coming out of the source code.

I remember very well,we used to open the source code and just type CMAC(to compile) & LMAC(to link) in the command prompt and hit enter.

Hope I am clear now....

Venkata Ramana Reddy,

Those might be edit macros developed inhouse to compile and link-edit.
I have my own edit macros that will show me the compile JCL prepared from a skeleton, for me to submit.

You may want write one.

I also have developed my own execs to compile and link from within source code and/or linkage code. Not sure that they'd be any use to you since they use skeletons to build up the JCL and obviously these are customised for our installation.
I could send them to you but ONLY on the assumption that you are competent in REXX and skeletons (ie, no support from my side)

Misi01,
Thank you very much for reply.Can you send the code to mail-id (ramana_pasula@yahoo.com).I will try to customize the code for our installation.
