Hi,
I am a beginner in REXX Programming.
I am dealing with REXX ISPF File Services.
| Code: |
/*REXX*/
ADDRESS ISPEXEC
DS1= "HLQ1.FILE1.JCL"
"DSINFO DATASET ("DS1")"
DSDATE = ZDSCDATE
EXIT |
Here the file name the REXX search for is MY LOGIN ID as the HLQ and then the File name provided
that is MYLOGINID.HLQ1.FILE1.JCL
So whenever I execute this REXX, it abends... saying the file name specified doesnot exists.
Is there any set up required so that the REXX searches for the correct filr HLQ1.FILE1.JCL instead of MYLOGINID.HLQ1.FILE1.JCL
Please advice |

instead of
| Code: |
| "DSINFO DATASET ("DS1")" |
use
| Code: |
| "DSINFO DATASET ('"DS1"')" |

This change is global, throughout the TSO user's address space. And I think it persists after logoff. It might affect other programs and will affect the usage of ISPF.
So I think Enrico's suggestion of adding the quotes is a better solution. |

This may be picky, but it is better to put the quotes around the data set name rather than in the service call. Though they are functionally the same, it is much clearer (to me, at least) to deal with the TSO naming conventions in one place (assignment) rather than in two (assignment and service calls). Otherwise, if you need to use the same name in more than one place then you will need to change all the places you use it which are errors waiting to happen. So it is better to say
| Code: |
DS1= "'HLQ1.FILE1.JCL'"
"DSINFO DATASET ("DS1")"
|
than to say
| Code: |
DS1= "HLQ1.FILE1.JCL"
"DSINFO DATASET ('"DS1"')" |
Also, by fully qualifying the name (using single quotes), your program will work regardless of the TSO PROFILE PREFIX/NOPREFIX setting |
