1. First, what your topic has got to do with "Job Vacancies" part of the Forum? I've moved it to "CLIST & REXX", possibly "TSO/ISPF" can be a choice but not "Job Vacancies".

2. From your subject-line, there is nothing called as "REXX Panel", ISPF panels, you can call them.

3. What is "coe" in this:

code user_id as one of the panel fields. Suggest you start reading the Rexx and ISPF dialogue manager/services etc manuals. (links at the top or google)

Is not underscore an invalid character in an ISPF variable name?

Okay...I have piece of REXX code as below

opt4:
jobname = userid()||'D'
"vput (I,O,L,S) profile"
"display panel(spnld) cursor("cur")"

Now I have a panel which having a field as Jobname. So now the value of the jobname from the code, it should be place in the field Jobname

For example :

If my userid is XYZ123 means, as per the code userid will append with the letter D. So from the rexx code I want to pass the value XYZ123D to panel.

So in the panel it should display automatically as below:

Jobname : ___XYZ123D___

Hope now you can understand my requirement completely

What variable name are you using in the panel? Cut and paste the line into your reply and use th code tags to preserve spaces. Also, I do not know why you show your VPUT as it has absolutely nothing to do with this.

You have to use the correct attribute [TYPE(INPUT) or TYPE(OUTPUT)] before the 'jobname' word in the panel.

You need to have these books open at all time (and to read them, of course):
