How to pass a PARM using ADDRESS LINKPGM?

Hi all,

I am doing a sort in a rexx routine as shown below:

ADDRESS LINKPGM 'SORT'

The problem here is that, this sort throws the messages to the console and I wanted to hide it. From the syncsort manuals, its says we can give a parameter MSG=NO to not have these messages sent to console. Can anybody help with the syntax of providing this parm to the above SORT statement. Not reaching anywhere with trial and error way.

Since you know how to get the sort to suppress the console messages, wouldn't the better question be something like "How to pass a PARM using ADDRESS LINKPGM?" posted in the REXX forum?

That's rt CICS guy..I have edited the Subject as the one suggested.

But whenever SYNCSORT question comes, I am bit reluctant to post in any other forums(you could see that in red

) other than JCL.

Moderators, Could you please move the post to REXX forum if you find it more relevent there?

Thanks,

I have LINKMVS example, hopefully it works the same for LINKPGM (or you could use LINKMVS)

parm2 = "/ -PWD=GOINGHOME QUERY NODE TEST"
Address LINKMVS "MYPROG parm2"
