Hi All,
I wanna capture current PDS name in my rexx macro code.
Suppose if i execute my macro (DELSTP) in command line after opening the PDS in edit mode, that PDS name should be captured in my DELSTP macro code, where further i will be using it for executing the macros in all the members present in the PDS.
Please guide me with some suggesstions..... |

| Read about the DATASET edit macro assignment statement in the Edit Macro Manual. |

How are you invoking your macro?
What exactly are you typing on the command line?
This code has worked for me for many years:
| Code: |
/*-----------------------------------------------------*/
/* FIND THE DATASET & MEMBER NAME OF CURRENT DATASET */
/*-----------------------------------------------------*/
"ISREDIT (DATA1) = DATASET"
"ISREDIT (MEM1) = MEMBER"

As suggested by Dave, the error might be with how you invoke your macro.
Edit macros will not give desired results if you run them as normal REXX codes using EX.
You need to copy your macro to SYSEXEC/SYSPROC library, and type the name of your macro in the command line after opening a file or member in EDIT or VIEW mode.
Hope this helps. |
