Search using Macro in SDSF

diwa_thilak · Posted: Tue Aug 28, 2007 2:37 pm

Friends,

I have submitted one job and i need to display only the lines which has got my search string in the spool result set.

Is it possible using an macro ? or i need to write a rexx program and initiate it in batch or using tso rexx command ?

Will macro can be initiated on spool result set directly ?

if the above search can be performed without xdc or copying the results to PS, how it can be done ?

Any suggestions ?

Thanks,
Diwakar

The answers to all of your questions are YES. Now, start looking for methods to implement them.

are you accessing the spool in view, edit or browse?

Dick,

I know macros can be initiated only in view / edit mode.

i will describe how i will initiate this process

From Mainscreen : s;st (go to the job ) ? (enter)

then "s" to select the spool resultset.

then i gave IN DDNAME (IN is the macro name)

How can i make my macro work ?

Do i need to copy my resultset and open in view/edit mode to make this macro work ?

Thanks,
Diwakar

have you managed to get your edit macro to work in a DS or member that you were viewing/editing. if it works there, it will work in sdsf, as long as you are viewing/editing one of the JES streams.

Dick,

I could not able to execute the macro. When i execute it doesnt throw any error/comments out ?

Vamsi,

I need to execute my macro in SDSF. I know we can execute the macro only in view/edit mode. But how to proceed further ?

Thanks,

tilak,

Open your Job in View mode my using the option 'SE' instead of 'S'. Then you can execute ur macros

Hi,

Did you allocate the PDS with the macro to your TSo session??

If not type the following code on command line:
TSO ALLOC FI(SYSEXEC) DA('XXXX.YYYY.ZZZZ') SHR REUSE.
XXXX.YYYY.ZZZZ is your personal PDS with all the macros!!

Then you should be ready to execute your macros in your personal PDS!!

Open SDSF with option 'SE' and give the command!! this should work.
