Found out that ....... you have to include the dataset in the JCL as follows:
//ddname dd dsn=filename,disp=shr
And then in the Rexx program just read the dataset using EXECIO into a stem variable as follows:
EXECIO * DISKR DDNAME (STEM VARIABLE. FINIS"
and thats it
Thanks |

| Is the REXX program compiled, or is it being run in interpreted mode? |

There are many examples of executing REXX in batch on the forum.
Please search the forum for an answer.
