Hello,
Can somebody help me out for the following requirement.
1) Using Rexx, I have to find the 5 recent generations of a GDG & display the contents of it in a word document.
2) Then i have to choose a job name listed in the contents of GDG (randomly from any one generation) & browse a pds (where job info is stored as members) to display the corres job info in a word document. (Assume as each generation is a report which contains list of job names)

Interesting project. There is nothing in your requirements that you shouldn't be able to find by searching the forums. I'll start by offering some tips:

Nothing in REXX will do this. The same utility you use to define and modify GDG's (IDCAMS) also can be used to query them. A quick search located a couple of useful topics:
www.ibmmainframes.com/viewtopic.php?t=18963
www.ibmmainframes.com/viewtopic.php?t=19564
The rest of the project sounds like normal logic processing and file I/O, which if you already know REXX shouldn't be much of an issue. |

| Another tip: Use correct terminology. GDG's are usually referred to by their generation (Gnnnn), not by their version (Vnn). |

Hello,
Tx frnds for ur help.. im new to rexx. i have coded my pgm - given below - till the point of browsing the 5 versions & appending all the data to a single ps. now im wondering as how to convert this to a word doc.. is there any way where ftp & rexx could be clubbed?
| Code: |
$DSN = "T6201BTX.T6201.DAILY.HANG"
Q = OUTTRAP(DATA.)
ADDRESS TSO "LISTC ENT('"||$DSN||"')"
Q = OUTTRAP(OFF)
$REC = DATA.0 - 1
COUNT = 0
DO SUBSCRIPT = (DATA.0 - 1) to 1 BY -2,
UNTIL COUNT = 5
COUNT = COUNT + 1
say subscript
say count
say data.subscript
PARSE VAR DATA.subscript . . $NAME
CALL copy_file
END
EXIT
Copy_file:
Address TSO
say $name
"ALLOC F(IN) DA('"$name"') SHR"
"ALLOC F(OUT) DA('t3162btx.t3162.daily.hang.report') MOD"
'EXECIO * DISKR IN (STEM rprt. FINIS' /* copy file into stem*/
/*Queue */ /* add null line to stack */
'EXECIO * DISKW OUT (STEM rprt. FINIS' /* copy using stem*/
"FREE F(IN,OUT)"
say 'no. of lines ' data.0
RETURN |

Don't know - that's a proprietary format. I'd do an internet search for text-to-word conversion utilities. I know there exists somewhere a TXT2RTF REXX utility and a TXT2PDF REXX utility.

I have no idea what this statement means. FTP is a native TSO command, so it can, of course, be called by a REXX exec. |

I believe it means "joined" or "used together" and sometimes horizontal concatenation (rather than vertical as with DDs).
Maybe someone will share a "real" definition. . . .
