HI,

Is it possible to get the file name in which the command was issued?

For example i issue command OPEN in command line. Now it is possible to get the file name DEV2.RK.JCL from that window where the command was issued.

Code:
   File  Edit  Edit_Settings  Menu  Utilities  Compilers  Test  Help           
 sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
 VIEW       DEV2.RK.JCL(ALLDUPS) - 01.01                    Columns 00001 00072
 Command ===> open                                             Scroll ===> CSR 
 ****** ***************************** Top of Data ******************************
 003600 //SORTXSUM JOB (053T,1531),'SORT',CLASS=A,MSGCLASS=X,                   
 003700 //            NOTIFY=&SYSUID                                           
 003710 //*  INPUT:                                                             
 003720 //*  WDCP TR   WDCP   WDCP ID                                           
 003730 //*   ID SSN   NOD ID GUAR AGCY

certainly yes, if the command is an edit/view macro...

after the usual housekeeping ...

Code: Address ISREDIT "(DATASET) = DATASET"

will fill the DATASET Rexx variable with the dataset name currently being edited/viewed

HI,

It worked.

Code:
VIEW       DEV2.RK.REXX.SOURCE(SAMP) - 01.12               Columns 00001 00072
Command ===>                                                  Scroll ===> CSR 
****** ***************************** Top of Data ******************************
000001 /* REXX */                                                             
000002 ADDRESS ISREDIT MACRO                                                   
000003 "ISREDIT (DSNAME) = DATASET"                                           
000004 SAY DSNAME                                                             
****** **************************** Bottom of Data ****************************



I have one question. When i issue command SAMP it displays the dataset name correctly. But when i issue command TSO SAMP it simply displays DSNAME.

When you type "SAMP" from within View or Edit, ISPF gets control first and is able to relate the macro and the file being edited.

When you type "TSO SAMP", you bypass ISPF and go straight to TSO. That command will not even be aware that it has been executed from within an edited file.
