Can you please elaborate a little on this. How and where will the panel be displayed if we have a DISPLAY PANEL in the REXX routine. It will be great also if you elaborate a little on how it is helpful for edit macros.

Regards,
Manas

I tried to submit a JCL from REXX (ISPF environment).

But I received an error message with return code = 998

You have your own profile in use in TSO when you submit the job.
Add a step like this in front (you may only need the profile dataset)

taltyman,

I tried your suggestion. It gave me a new error saying that ISPPROF has invalid dataset characteristics. Then instead of temporary dataset I created an empty PDS and used the same in the JCL. then It gave another error saying that ISPSPROF could not be loaded. Then I just copied ISPSPROF member from my system library into the dataset which I created and tried to execute the JCL. No use, again an error

Why don't you use Doug Nadel's BATCHPDF ?

Hi,

U can call a rexx exec from the following JCL also,

//STEP001 EXEC ISPBATCH
//SYSEXEC DD DSN=ABCD.REXX,DISP=SHR <--- WHERE THE REXX CODE IS
//SYSTSIN DD *
ISPSTART CMD(pgmNAME) <---- REXX EXEC NAME
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=(,),OUTPUT=(*.STD1)
//SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=(,),OUTPUT=(*.STD1)
//ISPFILE DD SYSOUT=*,DCB=(LRECL=80,RECFM=FB)
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=(,),OUTPUT=(*.STD1)
//SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=(,),OUTPUT=(*.STD1)
//INPARM DD * <----- PARAMETERS TO BE PASSED
Hello wordl

U can eliminate other DD statements if u don't need.

Thanks and regards,
Vikram

ISPBATCH is a local mod, not part of z/OS.

I saw that program. But in that we have to invoke the REXX program ( BATCHPDF ) which inturn generates a JCL which then submits another REXX routine. But, I don't want to do that way. This rexx which I am trying to execute is actually a part of a big jcl which has many steps. I don't want to generate the JCL via REXX.

I would be grateful if anyone suggests me a way to invoke rexx routine from a jcl with ISPF environment.

Thanks,

Can you post the code for NDMFPROD?
Also in an earlier post you have your skeleton and table dsns the same. Did you intend it to be that way?

taltyman · Posted: Tue May 06, 2003 10:46 am Post subject:

Just reread some of your posts and realized that your ispprof wasn't the original problem. It appears to be table related (the ispsprof name faked me out). At any rate....
If you are going to write to a table then the ddname is probably isptabl not isptlib. You can have multiple datasets allocated to isptlib. For isptabl only 1.
Again verify ISPTLIB DD DSN=T.CRD.A427XXX.ROAR.ISPSLIB is the correct dsn.

Sorry for the delay,

I tried all your suggestions but I'm still facing problems.

It either says

semigeezer · Posted: Wed May 14, 2003 1:39 am Post subject:

The problem is still your allocations. You need the system tables found in the system's ISPTLIB. You'll also need to have separate copies of profiles that don't conflict with ones already open by your online TSO id. Since you are using file tailoring, you may need an output library too to avoid conflicts (or ISPCTL1 in the JCL).

Using the BATCHPDF program to create your initial JCL has been suggested twice already, but you've chosen to ignore the advice. It will give you a good starting point.

I just now, tried the BATCHPDF stuff. Its working great. When I first read the code I misunderstood it and thats why I didn't try it.

Thanks a lot for your suggestions. I should have tried it before itself. I wasted lot of my time and yours too.

Thanks,

Hi,

My job runs a REXX routine (NDMFPROD) which inturn submits a NDM Jcl which actually runs in a different region and NDMs a file to PRODPLEX to TESTPLEX. This is working fine now.

But, once the Rexx submits the NDM Jcl, I receive a message saying that a Job has been submitted. Usually I give TSO PROFILE NOINTERCOM to stop such messages and also to suppress the message which is displayed once the JCL is completed.

In my rexx routine, I have specified ADDRESS TSO "PROFILE NOINTERCOM" command. But still I receive all the messages once the job is submitted, & once the job is completed. In my rexx I tried to find the status of PROFILE command. It says NOINTERCOM.

See below

Perhaps this is the answer to your question :-

THE USER PROFILE IS RETAINED THROUGHOUT EACH TERMINAL SESSION
UNLESS THE USER WISHES TO CHANGE IT BY ISSUING THE PROFILE COMMAND
AGAIN AND SPECIFYING THE APPROPRIATE OPERANDS. CHANGES MADE WHILE
PROCESSING IN THE BACKGROUND WILL NOT BE SAVED AND YOUR FOREGROUND
PROFILE WILL NOT BE AFFECTED.
