Using REXX, I want to achieve the following:

I want read a member which is same as SYSUID, I tried a lot of options but nothing is working:

"ALLOCATE DDN(INDD) DSN('XYZ.TEST.CLIST(SYSUID)')SHR REUSE"

i tried using UID = SYSVAR('SYSUID') and then concatenating the same to get XYZ.TEST.CLIST(UID) but it is not working.

any pointers will be appreciated.

Quote: UID = SYSVAR('SYSUID')

might work better without the quotes.

Hi,

i tried XYZ.TEST.CLIST(&SYSUID). Just wanted to clarify i am using REXX and not CLIST.

this is error message i am getting,

INVALID DATA SET NAME, 'OBATDD.TEST.STARTUP(&SYSUID)'
MISSING DATA SET NAME OR *+
MISSING NAME OF DATA SET TO BE ALLOCATED

also, i had tried even using SYSVAR(SYSUID) but again no luck.

Oops my bad.. I saw CLIST :oops:

Code:
/*- REXX ------*/                                         
S=USERID()                                               
SAY "ALLOC F(SORTIN) DA('XYZ.TEST.CLIST("S")') SHR REUSE"

What would've been wrong with just using the USERID() built-in function:

"ALLOCATE DDN(INDD) DSN('XYZ.TEST.CLIST("USERID()")') SHR REU"
