I've developed some REXX to analyse AMBLIST output and generate some purpose-specific output. This is working against both PDS and PDSe but, in one instance so far, I'm getting RC(8) when issuing
| Code: |
| ADDRESS LINKMVS "AMBLIST" |
The PDs in question has RECFM=U,BLKSIZE=6144 and REXX is working OK with other PDS with same attributes. Batch job running AMBLIST with same controls worked fine.
Any suggestions as to what the cause/remedy might be?

| Does AMBLIST work if you run it as a batch job and specify the same problem dataset and same control cards as your rexx? |

Try "ADDRESS ISPEXEC "SELECT PGM(AMBLIST)""

Yes, runs fine as a batch job. Also, if I copy the load module to another PDS (as only member), the REXX runs fine. The control card reads:
| Code: |
| LISTIDR DDN=LOAD,MEMBER=pgmname |
| Quote: |
| Try "ADDRESS ISPEXEC "SELECT PGM(AMBLIST)"" |
Tried this, behaviour is exactly the same - works with one PDS but not the other.
Thanks,
Garry. |

Sounds like it is not AMBLIST or REXX problem.
Anything unique about the particular dataset? Empty? Member exists? Unusually large member? Does AMBLIST work for any member of that dataset? Can you copy a member from the other dataset (that works) and run AMBLIST against it?
Suggest you allocate new PDS, copy all members and delete the old dataset. |

Thanks Pedro,
I can only copy from the problem dataset. The PDS belongs to a specific group but I am allowed read access. I can't copy into the PDS.
The only thing I can find that's suspect is that the PDS is in 4 extents. I've copied several problem members to my own PDS and the REXX AMBLIST runs OK with the copy. It also runs OK against a random selection of members in the problem PDS.
It looks like my solution may be to have the PDS owners compress the PDS.
Thanks to all,
Garry. |
