Where is REXX and panel stored?

I am having a REXX command and its panel in my system for performing some function. I am not able to find it in the normal REXX libaries in which our REXX are stored. How can we find where any REXX/Panel is stored by just its name?

No such beast as a REXX panel, they do not exist.
It is an ISPF panel.

May I take this opportunity to inform you that there is a sticky topic at the top of the CLIST / REXX forum with a link to the ISPF manuals. Take the time to read them, and read them well.

baffling...
Your first post on rexx was on Mon Jan 08, 2007
it sound odd that after almost 4 year of REXX practicing You haven' t learned anything about TSO/ISPF libraries/ddnames/content

but maybe too many other things prevented You from reading the manual

to help You with Your time issues here are for the umpteen time the links to the relevant manuals

for ISPF
publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/Shelves/ISPZPM70

for TSO ( rexx/clist)
publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/Shelves/IKJ4BK90

You can retrieve online the info on allocated ddnames and datasets by entering on the ISPF command line TSO ISRDDN

Enrico,

You might want to update your links boilerplate to

z/OS V1R11.0 TSO/E Bookshelf

and

z/OS V1R11.0 ISPF BookShelf

I know that You know Robert

Posting links to 2 levels back manuals is part of my sneaky way of providing help (*)
to see how much attention they pay to the suggestions given
wanting to know how much people learn from the suggestions they get.
and if they feel the need to progress themselves, but...
looks like the majority does not read manuals or know the environment and the product they work with,
look at the confusion DFSORT vs. SYNCSORT
all that people want around these forums is just ready to eat fish
they just do not give a sith about learning how to cook or how to fish

gimme a quick way out of today sith, and tomorrow i' ll post a new question on a new issue

I would have liked very much that the point about backlevel manuals had been made by one those asking for help

(*) the info about what they need is generally there, seldom/never I have seen questions related to the latest versons/releases of things
