As stated by Enrico, did you look in the manuals ?

What have you tried for yourself and what were the results. Please post the output of the error messages if you have them as well as the pertinent area of code.

Without such things we can only guess at what you are trying to do.

'ISREDIT MACRO (EASPTS)'
ADDRESS ISREDIT
"X ALL " EASPTS 9
"DELETE ALL X"

This is my macro name DELETE1 to delete certain lines in a file by checking for the existence of the parameter EASPTS in 9th position.

"EDIT DATASET('"IN_FILE2"') MACRO(DELETE1)"

and this is the syntax which I used to invoke the above macro (without parameter) from another REXX code.

I need to edit the dataset IN_FILE2 by calling the macro DELETE1 with parameter EASPTS.

Pls help me how to invoke this macro(with parameter EASPTS) from another REXX code.

Take a look at VPUT and VGET which has been used in examples on the forum already.
