Hi,

This is the code I am executing
/* REXX */
ARG FNAME
ADDRESS ISPEXEC
"ISPEXEC VIEW DATASET("'FNAME'")"

and below is the error which I get
Note: Fname is passed thru arg, no quotes are given.
ISRD028
Data set not cataloged
'AA59391.FNAME' was not found in catalog.

Current dialog statement:
ISPEXEC VIEW DATASET(FNAME)

Enter HELP command for further information regarding this error.
Press ENTER key to terminate the dialog.

Hi Prabs,

Change your code to the following one:

Code:

/* REXX */
ARG FNAME
ADDRESS ISPEXEC
"VIEW DATASET("FNAME")"


This is working.

No Vams, even that is not working

Plz look at the error which I get

ISRE177

Missing EDIT/VIEW parm
Either data set, DATAID or workstation file parameter is required.

Current dialog statement:
ISPEXEC VIEW DATASET()

Enter HELP command for further information regarding this error.
Press ENTER key to terminate the dialog.

The code:
Code:

/* REXX */                                 
TRACE I                                   
ARG FNAME                                 
ADDRESS ISPEXEC                           
"VIEW DATASET("FNAME")"                   

works fine at my site also, both my original post and the one from mainframesguru. That presumes, of course, that the dataset passed to FNAME actually exists.

Again, you really need to post your TRACE command output.

Hi friends,

Thanks a lot. The problem is no rexx code in this M/F system works fine when we pass something thru arg. So I have changed the code like below

SAY 'ENTER A DATASET NAME: '
PULL FNAME
ADDRESS ISREDIT
ADDRESS ISPEXEC
ISPEXEC VIEW DATASET("FNAME")"

and its working fine now.

Thanks & Regards
Prabs

hy prabs2006,

call your rexx with that parameter...

MYREXX FNAME --> where FNAME is any valid dataset, i.e. A.BCD.HZF
if you give no value to any rexx variable, it
takes the variable-name as value... ok?
therefore i think you forgot this.

Martin, I have called the Rexx routine with that parameter. But somehow that is not taking it up. There are other people here who have the same problem.

Thanks & Regards

Wow, you've added it to the command table?

Run it as "TSO AG 1234"

Hi Robert, Kevin.

Thanks for your prompt responses.

I changed the name to a diff one then I ran with TSO SIM 1234 and I am getting the result.

I dont know why AG was not working.

I appreciate you all.
