| If I invoke a rexx from the DSLIST (option 3.4) there is a way for the rexx to pass a short string back to ISPF which is then displayed in the Message field. What is the name of the dialog variable for this? I looked in the Dialog manual but could not find it. |

That is for using an ISPF message. What I am looking for is the dialog variable that is used in the DSLIST "Message area".
| Code: |

isn t it enough for ISPF to automatically display the <line command> name and the return code ???
for the member list You can use
| Code: |
ISPEXEC LMMDISP DATAID(data-id)
OPTION(PUT)
MEMBER(member-name)
[ZLLCMD(lcmd-value)]
[ZLUDATA(udata-value)] |

I did some more searching and found it. It was in the ISPF User's Guide Volume II chapter 5. There is a section where it describes how to use the DSLIST (option 3.4). Buried in there is a short section on executing a clist or rexx and this lists the dialog variables that are available to the exec as well as the 3 variables the exec can pass back. One of them is
| Code: |
| ADDRESS ISPEXEC "VPUT (ZDLMSG) SHARED" |
which will put a value into the message field. I wish IBM had made this easier to find. |
