No problem, I can do the job for you.

My rate is $100 per hour + tax. You will get a tested code.

When do you want me to start?

IMNHO... Rexx is not the proper 'utility' to schedule jobs but the worst thing, as ofer insinuate, is that you only want the CODE, remember this site has a SEARCH facility...and that you can get lot of examples here, there (other forums) and everywhere (google).

Hi Ofer71 !

$100 per hour + tax ???

Please don't destroy the pricing for external support by agggressive dumping the fee per hour here in Europe.

Have a look at the exchange rate USD/EUR ;-)

You can get a return code of job by:
1. Batch SDSF command.
2. Navigating through MVS Data Areas.
3. Extracting Broadcast messages dataset.

Looking for some more input
Can we execute BATCH SDSF command in REXX ? If yes please gie me a example .
By exteacting Broadcast message dataset i assume you are talking about TSO output command which stored in the dataset , This will again involve searching of particular string.


Can you elaborate more .

Regards

SDSF Batch commands were discussed a lot in this forum (yes, with examples). You might want to search the forum.

Also, the SDSF fine manual contains all the information you need(yes, with examples).

Thanks Ofer -


I have searched the Forum and tried one way. But the problem is no output is coming in the Dataset .

Given below is the code -----

/* REXX */
ADDRESS TSO
"ALLOC F(ISFIN) TRACKS SPACE(1) REU" /* USED BY SDSF */
"ALLOC F(ISFOUT) NEW DELETE REU " , /* USED BY SDSF */
"TRACKS SPACE(100,100) LRECL(133) RECFM(F,B,A) DSORG(PS)"
"ALLOC F(TEMPPRT) DA('BKGHDY.DEV.REPORT') SHR"
JOBNAME = "BLYGGGG1"
QUEUE "PRE *" /* SDSF COMMANDS IN BATCH*/
QUEUE "ST"
QUEUE "FILTER JOBID =" JOBFFF81
QUEUE "++S "
QUEUE "PRINT FILE "BKGHDY.DEV.REPORT" "
QUEUE "PRINT 1 999999"
QUEUE "PRINT CLOSE"
QUEUE "END"
QUEUE "EXIT"
SAY QUEUE
"EXECIO" QUEUED()" DISKW ISFIN (FINIS" /* INPUT TO SDSF BATCH */
ADDRESS ISPEXEC "SELECT PGM(ISFAFD) PARM('++25,80')"/* INVOKE SDSF */
EXIT


Please tellme if there is any other solution ....

Regards

You can look into ISFOUT to see SDSF messages.

I can see in the ISFOUT that all of the jobs present in spool is listed but output dataset does not contain that job.Is there any problem with the filter .

Hi !

You could simply shedule your separate jobs by adding a last Step in every job, where you submit your next job via internal reader. Make this step depending on the RC of the previous step. Then you have a little job-chain of sepatate jobs.

I'm submitting REXX by JCL to get the SDSF output in ISFOUT. But there is no data after job completion. If I'm running this REXX in the foreground Data is coming to out file.

Please guide if there any other way to submit REXX by JCL

I am using this JCL

Code:

//REXXINS  EXEC PGM=IKJEFT1B,DYNAMNBR=30
//SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSEXEC DD DSN=my rexx pds,DISP=SHR
//ISPPROF DD UNIT=VIO,DISP=(NEW,DELETE),SPACE=(TRK,(1,5,5)),
// DCB=(LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=6160,DSORG=PO,RECFM=FB)
//ISPLOG DD SYSOUT=*,
// DCB=(LRECL=120,BLKSIZE=2400,DSORG=PS,RECFM=FB)
//ISPMLIB DD DSN=my ispmlib,DISP=SHR
//ISPPLIB DD DSN=my ispplib,DISP=SHR
//ISPSLIB DD DSN=my ispslib,DISP=SHR
//ISPTLIB DD DSN=my isptlib,DISP=SHR
//SYSTSIN DD *
ISPSTART CMD(%CHECKREO)
/*


Given below is the REXX

Code:

/*REXX*/                                                         
INREC4.   = " "                                                   
INREC4.0  = '0'                                                   
RexxrepDSN      = 'IBM.REXX.REP'                         
"DROPBUF"                                                         
QUEUE 'JOBNAME' IBMAS1C1                                         
QUEUE 'ST'

QUEUE 'ARRANGE MAX-RC A C'                                       
QUEUE 'END'                                                       
QUEUE 'EXIT'                                                     
"ALLOC F(ISFIN) TRACKS SPACE(1) REU" /* USED BY SDSF */

"EXECIO" QUEUED()" DISKW ISFIN (FINIS" /* INPUT TO SDSF BATCH */ 
"ISPEXEC SELECT PGM(SDSF) PARM('++32,255')"

"ALLOC F(PROF) DA('"RexxrepDSN"') SHR"   
"EXECIO * DISKR "PROF"(STEM INREC4."
"EXECIO 0 DISKR "PROF" (FINIS"       
"FREE FILE("PROF")"

I don't have SDSF so I can't validate if your code will work or not. However, make sure you have the correct JCL as I've shown for using ISPF services in batch for the one line:

"ISPEXEC SELECT PGM(SDSF) PARM('++32,255')"

or, forget about using ISPF services and just call the program using a standard TSO CALL statement:

"CALL *(SDSF) '++32,255'"

if the requirement is urgent a forum is not the best place to get an answer
You did not show any hint of having done a bit of work Yourself,
if You had searched the forums You would have found lots of examples on the issue

a technically correct answer for Your requirement could be

Code:
/*REXX */
Address TSO "SUBMIT 'YOUR.JCL.PDS.DATASET(MEMBER)'"
exit


it' s up to You to search the REXX docs for an explanation
TSO/E bookshelf
ID ( information developers ) aka the people who write the manuals are much better at explaining things

Urgent no it isn't - well not for me anyway.

Usual rates apply 700 euro per day (or part thereof) for tested and documented code.

Hi Eric,

I apologize for that. Actually my requirement is that a mainframe file is being dumped through dataware house process. Once the mainframe file is available , a process should trigger a predecessor job to run successor jobs. Can any one tell me how this can be done using REXX?

Do you not have a scheduling software package in house, one designed specifically for tasks such as this ?

A 'predecessor job'? I do not think you can go back in time.
