Hi,

User id is getting prefixed when i'm using an variable name in ALLOC statement in REXX.

Statement:

MYDSN = "DATA.SET.NAME"
"ALLOC F(MYDATA) DS ("MYDSN'") SHR REUSE"

Error: userid.data.set.name not in catalog or catalog can not be acccessed.

Could you please let me know how to avoid user id prefix?

Regards,
Manoj.

You need a single quote before the double quote preceeding MYDSN and one after the double quote which follows.

I'm just started learning REXX myself. Could you please suggest some good REXX material to begin with? Thank you
