Hi all,

I have a panel which takes input a variable BLNUM, It’s a rexx program. When I execute this rexx program, at back end a jcl runs.
This jcl calls another rexx program. My requirement is I want to pass this variable BLNUM from one rexx program to another rexx program through the jcl. Is there any way to do so. Please advise.

You could not have chosen a worst wording icon_eek.gif
You are running a rexx script which displays a panel, retrieving some values

You want to build a jcl stream to be submitted using somewhere the values entered in the panel .....

snippet to show the general flow
Code:
... housekeeping
Address ISPEXEC "DISPLAY PANEL(YourPanel)"
if  RC <> 0 then do
    ... tell the user that some error has occurred
    ... or the user hit PF3
   return 4
end

... use file tailoring services to customize the jcl to be submited
Address ISPEXEC "FTOPEN TEMP"
Address ISPEXEC "FTINCL YourSkel"
Address ISPEXEC "FTCLOSE"
Address ISPEXEC "VGET ZTEMPF"
Address TSO     "SUBMIT ('"ZTEMPF"')"
... housekeeping to tell the user that the job was submitted
return 0


snippet to show how to trap the SUBMIT messages
Code:
call outtrap "out."
Address TSO     "PROFILE MSGID"
Address TSO     "SUBMIT ('"ZTEMPF"')"
Address TSO     "PROFILE NOMSGID"
call outtrap "off"
do i = 1 to out.0
   tmp = strip(out.i)
   msg = strip(word(tmp,1))
   if msg = "IKJ56250I" then do
       parse var tmp . "(" jobid ")" .
       say "==>" jobid
   end
   else do
       say out.i
   end
end

How is your JCL created? Show us your JCL. How is the second rexx program invoked?
