|
|
Hi All,
I have a macro in a PDS as say mem1 and then I have another macro in mem2. I want to call mem1 in mem2. Is there a way to do this?
Could you please help me out with this?
Thanks,
Hariharan |

I got this.
I did a ADDRESS TSO "%<mem1>" and it worked. |

You can also use the rexx CALL instruction:
Code: call test23(myparm1)
or as an external function:
Code: a = test23(myparm1)
I am not sure, but there might be some minor performance differences from using Address TSO. Minor performance differences add up if you are doing something repetitively.

I believe you were talking about a macro.
As far as I know, the only way the invoke an ISPF Edit Macro within ISPF, is issuing the EDIT/VIEW service with the MACRO keyword.
The method to invoke an ISPF Edit Macro within an EDIT/VIEW session is the ISREDIT host command.
