Hi,

Can anybody suggest me how to use the TEXTBOX in the Panel.

My Requirement is to have a Text area over the panel ,when the user
enters the data in the text area that data has to be Captured to a mainframe dataset .

Is it possible to have an option of Text box design in Panel, if not
kindly let me know how to throw onemore panel where the user
enters the data and the same can be captured to a mainframe dataset.

thanks
Kishore

No such animal as a REXX panel.

Go to the sticky topics at the top of the CLIST/REXX forum, and look at the one for reference materials. In there will be all the manuals you'll ever need for REXX and ISPF.

Please feel free to come back and post when you have problems with your code

Panels are ISPF animals.
So if you look at the ISPF manuals you will find that ADDPOP and REMPOP are what you need.

unless I've misunderstood what you mean by "Text area over the panel"...

I would suggest like that...

Say you are in your MAIN PANEL and there you can have a field say
Text insert indicator _ (Y/N)

now if someone enters Y in it , do ADDPOP as suggested above and open another small Popup panel (with two field text and confirmation) where once the user enters text and say Y in confirmation field screen then write the text to a file and do REMPOP and you will be back to your MainPanel.
