Hi,
I have a REXX EXEC, which expects three inputs when invoked, based on which it creates an output.
Now, running this in the foreground works fine. But can you advice on how can I run my EXEC in batch.
I ran the following JCL but it did not take care of the parameters passed:
| Code: |
//PN4704AA JOB (@),REXX-TEST,CLASS=0,MSGCLASS=R,
// NOTIFY=&SYSUID
//RUNEXEC EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01,
// PARM='%EXEC#1 Y WXX262.SID.JCLLIB DB2'
//SYSEXEC DD DISP=SHR,DSN=WXX262.SID.EXEC
//SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSTSIN DD DUMMY
//*
|
Note: EXEC#1 is my REXX EXEC and parameters are: Parm1 = Y, Parm2 = MYPDS.SID.JCLLIB and Parm3 = DB2
in this order.
Also, I tried the following, but this did not take care of the parameters either:
| Code: |
//PN4704AA JOB (@),REXX-TEST,CLASS=0,MSGCLASS=R,
// NOTIFY=&SYSUID
//RUNEXEC EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01
//SYSEXEC DD DISP=SHR,DSN=WXX262.SID.EXEC
//SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSTSIN DD *
%EXEC#1 Y MYPDS.SID.JCLLIB DB2
/*

Could someone please assist me to write a JCL which can explicitly allow me to pass the parameters to REXX program?
Thanks,
Sid. |

| Both formats should work as shown. The problem must lie within the REXX code. |

Thanks Superk for your quick response.
I agree that there could be problem with my REXX code, but in that case shouldn't that problem show up while trying to run it in foreground mode?
Anyways, I think I should elaborate on my code section where it expects the inputs:
There are THREE PULL statements coded in the program.
These statements accept inputs entered by the user in foreground mode. How do I provide these inputs in BATCH?

The same way. In the foreground, the data is being pulled from the console. In batch, the console is defined with the SYSTSIN DD. So, move them there:
| Code: |
//RUNEXEC EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01,
// PARM='%EXEC#1'
//SYSEXEC DD DISP=SHR,DSN=WXX262.SID.EXEC
//SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSTSIN DD *
Y
WXX262.SID.JCLLIB
DB2
