Allocating dataset

I'm searching for a file using some criteria and I'm extracting the file name. Now I need to read this file and search for some data. When I try to allocate the file, it says file cannot be found.

Assume the file name is stored in the variable DATANAME='XXXX.TEST.REXX'
Then I give
"ALLOC F(TESTFILE) DSN("DATANAME") SHR REUSE"

I get the error
AGSIO0033 Cannot allocate data set. Data set name not found. The file 'XXXX.TEST.REXX' does exist in the mainframe complex.

Regards

check the profile prefix settings
or include the dataset name in apostrophes ==>'<==

Please let me know how to check the check the profile prefix settings

Does include the dataset name in apostrophes ==>'<==
mean the following

ADDRESS TSO "ALLOC F(TESTFILE) DSN('"DATANAME"') SHR REUSE"

If this is what you meant, then I had also tried that. I am getting the same error.

can You see the dataset in option 3.4 ??

as far as the profile You have two choices

the setting should be displayed in the ISPF primary option menu
or by typing in the command line TSO PROFILE

I am able to see the dataset uisng the option 3.4. I also tried the TSO PROFILE command. The value for PREFIX is my userid.

Also i tried the following

DATANAME=XXXX.TEST.REXX (with no quotes)
ADDRESS TSO "ALLOC F(TESTFILE) DSN('"DATANAME"') SHR REUSE"

I got the message <MYUSERID>.XXXX.TEST.REXX dataset NOT IN CATALOG OR CATALOG CAN NOT BE ACCESSED.

It is adding the default prefix to the dataset name.

post a trace of Your rexx script

I find it odd that I can't find a description of the "AGSIO0033" error message anywhere. That doesn't seem like the usual sort of "IKJ" message you'd think you'd see.

Venkat, have you been able to look that error message up?

I think your '(with no quotes)' example should have worked.

But try this:

Below is the code which i am executing

TRACE R
HLQ = 'SSO.D2001031.T608141.E200000'
ADDRESS TSO "ALLOC F("SSOFILE") DSN("HLQ") SHR REUSE"
ADDRESS MVS "EXECIO 1 DISKR "SSOFILE" (FINIS STEM IN."
CLINE = 0
DO WHILE (LINES("SSOFILE"))
CLINE = CLINE + 1
END

The output when i give HLQ = 'SSO.D2001031.T608141.E200000' and DSN("HLQ") is

The output when i give HLQ = 'SSO.D2001031.T608141.E200000' and DSN('"HLQ"') . Also when i try HLQ = "'SSO.D2001031.T608141.E200000'" and DSN("HLQ"), i get the same error.

in the first trace You have a tso prefix

in the second trace You use the LINES function
and IIRC it' s not supported in TSO REXX

LINES is not a built-in function, but you must have some function package that allows provides it. Look at the documentation for it. I am just guessing, but maybe you need to provide the actual dataset name and not a DDname. in the LINES() call.

Ahh ... LINES is a REXX/VM function, related to the CHARIN function.
