Hello Everyone,
I am trying to append multiple messages and then send it to the user via REXX.
Below is what i am trying to achieve :-
| Code: |
/** REXX ***/
MSG1 = 'THIS IS MESSAGE 1 '
MSG2 = 'THIS IS MESSAGE 2 '
MSG3 = 'THIS IS MESSAGE 3 '
MSG4 = 'THIS IS MESSAGE 4 '
MSG0 = TRANSLATE(MSG1 || MSG2 || MSG3 || MSG4)
ADDRESS TSO 'SEND '|| "'MSG0'" ||' USER('||USERID()||') LOGON' |
the output should be the combination of messages stored in the variable MSG0 to user (in this case it will be me).
But presently i am not able to substitute the data inside MSG0 to put that into strings and send it to the user.
Thanks,
Rajat |

Your quotes are not proper. Check the MSG0 quotes again.
| Code: |
| ADDRESS TSO 'SEND '|| "'"MSG0"'" ||' USER('||USERID()||') LOGON' |

Personally, I prefer using double quotes for TSO and other external commands. Many of them can include single quotes:
| Code: |
| Address TSO "SEND '"Msg0"' USER("UserID()") LOGON" |
And don't forget:
| TSO/E User Guide wrote: |
| The message cannot exceed 115 characters, including blanks. |
You can do too (it looks nicer on the receiver side):
| Code: |
Address TSO "SEND '"Left(Msg1,72)"' USER("UserID()") LOGON"
Address TSO "SEND '"Left(Msg2,72)"' USER("UserID()") LOGON"
Address TSO "SEND '"Left(Msg3,72)"' USER("UserID()") LOGON"
Address TSO "SEND '"Left(Msg4,72)"' USER("UserID()") LOGON" |
In fact, you can also do (note: no trailing space in MSGs):
| Code: |
/** REXX ***/
MSG1 = 'THIS IS MESSAGE 1'
MSG2 = 'THIS IS MESSAGE 2'
MSG3 = 'THIS IS MESSAGE 3'
MSG4 = 'THIS IS MESSAGE 4'
MSG0 = TRANSLATE(MSG1 MSG2 MSG3 MSG4) |
(and TRANSLATE can be omitted if you have only uppercase text) |

| If you had used HILITE in edit you would immediately have seen what was wrong. |
