| I've used EXECIO in my rexx prog. In my prog 1st I'm reading records from a PS and then want to write few lines from the recs into another member of a PDS. The prog can write all the records instead of few lines whatever I need. I can't use variables (to hold the rec and to check the rec) in EXECIO. So I can't use EXECIO in a loop to check the lines That I want to write. either * or a particular number I have to use for EXECIO. Can anybody tell me how I can use var in EXECIO. |

EXECIO Command format.
I don't understand your question. Take a look at the format of the EXECIO command and maybe tell us your understanding of how it works. |

| The program will do what you tell it to do. You just need to work out the logic. |

| Perhaps you do not know what stem variables are in rexx. Read the TSO Rexx Reference to understand stems. And then use the STEM parameter of the EXECIO command. |

this is my rexx prog to read a PS and write all the recs in a member of a PDS --
DSN = REXXFILE.LAWFILE
"ALLOC DD(DNB)DA("DSN") SHR"
'EXECIO * DISKR DNB (STEM LINES. OPEN'
DO I = 1 TO LINES.0
IF LINES.I = 'EOF' THEN
DO
SAY 'END OF CODE'
LEAVE
END
ELSE
NOP
END
"ALLOC FI(MYDD) DA('JOP3I0.TEST.JCLPDS(NEWMEM1)') SHR REUSE"
"EXECIO * DISKW MYDD (STEM LINES."
IF RC = 0 THEN /*RC=0 MEANS SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION*/
SAY 'ALL RECS ARE WRITTEN IN PS'
ELSE SAY 'NOT COMPLETED'
"FREE F(MYDD)"
this is working . but i want to read the PS and check each line (suppose i want to check with "*****"as in PS recs has line with *****) and until ***** i want to write recs in the new mem.I used * in EXECIO DISKW, but this will write all recs.so i want to use EXECIO in a loop, as lines.i holds the rec one by one, check it and write rec in member. so i want to use lines.i in EXECIO. but it is showing error as "use only number or * in EXECIO".how can i use EXECIO ?
I think now my qs is cleasr to all.i need ur help. |

here is a snippet with the logic
| Code: |
-- initialize the script
-- read the lines
"EXECIO * DISKR INPUT (STEM LINES. FINIS"
-- initialize the output record count
j = 0
-- loop to process the lines
do i = 1 to lines.0
if left(lines.i,3) = "EOF" then ,
leave
if ... condition to write the output is satisfied .... then do
j = j + 1 /* increment the output record count */
-- build the output record
outrec.j = ............
end
end
-- check the output record count
if j > 0 then do
say "processed" j "records"
-- allocate the output dataset
"EXECIO" j "DISKW OUTPUT (STEM OUTREC. FINIS"
-- free
end
else ,
say "no records processed"
-- terminate

Hi,
Just to add,
Is it possible to use a variable inside the EXECIO statement,
Eg.
| Code: |
| "EXECIO 1 DISKR FZFILE '"COUNT"' (FINIS STEM IN." |
in the above statement "count" is the variable.
I tried changing the " and ' but it does'nt seem to work.
Could you please show some light in the tunnel. 
Thanks in advance, |

Could you please post some links for REXX manuals, something like "Getting started with REXX".
The manuals that we have in IBMMAINFRAMES.com are the complete reference and they are a little "vast".
I tried the web but still able to find only the TSO/E REXX Reference by IBM which is 564 pages 
There are a couple of E-books for sale like Down to earth REXX.
If e-book is the only option please suggest some simplified book. |

First, if COUNT is a variable then you shouldn't be quoting it:
| Code: |
"EXECIO 1 DISKR FZFILE "COUNT" (FINIS STEM IN."
|
Second, these self-training suggestions were posted recently:

Thanks Superk for your time. It never occured to me to use " since I thought it would terminate the initial "
the book by Kilowatt Software L.L.C.
Classic Rexx Tutorial seems to be quite simple .. I will try it out |

When you create a command like that, you can combine both constants (quoted strings) and variables. Rexx will resolve all of the variables before trying to pass the command to the command processor. So in this case, you DO want to terminate the initial double quote. |
