Well, we could help you, but you have to ask a question that can be answered.
There is no such thing as "a field protected in rexx".

If you use ISPF panels, you will get an answer.
If you use another tool, you will get a different answer.
If you don't tell us, I'm afraid superk's "No" is the only answer...

I'm sorry for not posting the complete question but it is for an ISPF panel.
so can we set some attributes of a paticular field to make it protected?

Hi,

if I understand your request correctly you can use something like this in your PANEL

As far as I remember, an attribute of type OUTPUT or TEXT is, by definition, protected.

Or you could just reference the variable using an ampersand.
