This is some code I use to access option 3.4 from REXX. I'm not sure if it will work at all mainframe centers. The REXX program should be stored in a REXX library under OPT34 (or any REXX name you select).
You should then be able to enter TSO OPT34 HLQ.2NDQUAL on the command line and a 3.4 display should appear. Sorry if it doesn't work in your location.
| Code: |
/* REXX */
PARSE UPPER ARG DSN
"ISPEXEC LMDINIT LISTID(XQDSLST) LEVEL("DSN")"
"ISPEXEC LMDDISP LISTID("XQDSLST")"
IF RC > 0
THEN DO
"SETMSG MSG("ZERRMSG")"
END
"ISPEXEC LMDFREE LISTID("XQDSLST")"
EXIT

I have tried your code but it is not working.
below is my code.
ADDRESS ISPEXEC "LMDINIT LISTID(DSNM) LEVEL("DSN")"
ADDRESS ISPEXEC "LMDDISP LISTID("DSNM")"
Here DSNM is the variable that contains the dataset name. so here I want to pass the value of the DSNM to the 3.4 option. |

DSNM is the variable that contains the list identifier assigned by ISPF at LMDINIT time
| Code: |
****** ***************************** Top of Data ******************************
000001 /*REXX - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - */
000002 /* */
000003 /* - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - */
000004 Trace "R"
000005 Parse upper arg hlq
000006 Address ISPEXEC "LMDINIT LISTID(LIST) LEVEL("hlq")"
000007 Address ISPEXEC "LMDDISP LISTID("LIST")"
000008 Address ISPEXEC "LMDFREE LISTID("LIST")"
000009 Exit
000010
****** **************************** Bottom of Data **************************** |
it will invoke the equivalent of 3.4 for the hlq passed as a parameter
save the script in a library in your sysproc/sysexec concatenation
and invoke it as "TSO ...yourchosenname... sys1"
no reason for it not to work it was tested |

The above given code performs two function.
1) First it will paste the given dataset in the 3.4 option.
2) Then it performs the enter function to list all the datasets.
But my requirement is only to perform the 1st point alone. |

You got it wrong
LM services are user interfaces to the same services which are being used by the PDF dialogs
the screen layouts used as defaults are just a usability kindness
... any user written panel could be used
so please clarify a bit more Your requirements |

I want only the string to be displayed in the 3.4 option.
In the below given example the string is
XAMCV.TEST.MASTER.AMCK001. From the Rexx code I just want to pass the string to the 3.4 option as it is shown below.
eg:-
Option ===>
blank Display data set list P Print data set list
V Display VTOC information PV Print VTOC information
Enter one or both of the parameters below:
Dsname Level . . . XAMCV.TEST.MASTER.AMCK001
Volume serial . . |

What will you do with it once you get to the 3.4 panel? Is it something that can be done within the REXX itself? Please describe your intent.
Perhaps you could update the value in variable ZDLDSNLV within the REXX and then go to the panel? |

Correction to my previous post
it can be done thru an undocumented interface
might work for strict personal use, not recommended for general use
if You are curious just look at the way ispf does it |

Requirement is to browse a Vsam file using start tool.
So I just want to know is there is any line command to invoke a startool.
I want to pass a string from the rexx routine to open the VSAM dataset in a browse or a edit mode using startool. |

check Your star tool customization
in an IBM add on products environment if You have ditto installed
from a 3.4 dataset list typing B in the dataset command filed the vsam browse function of ditto will be invoked
I guess that there should be something similar for serena startools |

I have added the following code in my program, now it is working fine.
ADDRESS ISPEXEC "LIBDEF ISPPLIB DATASET ID('SYS1.STARTOOL.PANELS',
'SYS2.WORKBNCH.ISPPLIB')"
ADDRESS ISPEXEC "LIBDEF ISPSLIB DATASET ID('SYS1.STARTOOL.SKELS')"
ADDRESS ISPEXEC "LIBDEF ISPMLIB DATASET ID('SYS1.STARTOOL.MSGS')"
ADDRESS ISPEXEC "LIBDEF ISPLLIB DATASET ID('SYS1.STARTOOL.LOADLIB',
'SYS2.WORKBNCH.LINKLIB')"
ADDRESS TSO STARTOOL "'"dsn"'"
Where dsn is the variable which contains the name of the dataset. |
