Hi All,
I have written a REXX code which fetches a variable name (PDS name) and updates the members of that PDS. I find difficulty while executing it through JCL. It is giving me error for not able to pass the parameter and also not able to execute ISPEXEC in batch.
Any suggestions.. |

You didn't provide an example of your job, but it should look a lot like the job described in this topic.
The important details are that you need to provide DD statements for your ISPF libraries, and you need to start ISPF Services by issuing the ISPSTART command in your job. |

Hi ,
Is it possible to execute a cataloged JCL procedure through rexx?
I have a requirement like, one PL/1 program will write 'TRUE' or 'FALSE' to a flat file then based on this value, If true i need to execute one jcl procedure else i need to execute another procedure.
Regards,
Harish. |

Hello Harish and welcome to the forum,
A simpler approach would be for the pl/i program to set a return code based on whether this is a "true" or "false" run. Subsequent steps could then be conditionally executed to execute the "true" or "false" step(s)/proc(s). |

Hi,
Thank you very much for that post. We don't want to use the PLIRETC to set the condition because it will be continued to the called procedure based on 'true' or 'false'.

Not that i'm aware of, but you could SUBMIT a job from rexx and execute whichever PROC you wanted to execute. . . |

| Have you considered actually reading the manuals to find the SUBMIT command and its syntax yourself ? |

Hello,
At the top of the page is a link to "IBM Manuals". Among them is the "REXX User Guide". Suggest you look there. It will also be good to look around and be aware of the many other manuals available from that page.
If you find something in one of the manuals that is not clear, post what you found and your question about it. Someone will be able to clarify. |
