Sry!!..a small error in my query....
actually im getting that error when trying to run that macro, not while trying to code it

Where are you trying to code the macro
What are the dataset attributes of the library where you try to code
Do you get the error when coding or executing
Were there any message codes issued with the error, e.g. IKJxxxx -if so post them

We are not mind readers !

Nandan,

are you running your macro in Foreground (interactively) or Background (batch)?

Im trying to code my macro in a HLQ.personalid.REXX library.
I have concatinated the above library to SYSEXEC also.

the libaray attributes are - FB, rec length is 80.

my macro actually reads 8 chars at cursor position(the read characters is the name of a module) and the tries to open that module in browse mode.

below is the code.

please post the complete dataset attributes

and make sure that, apart the blksize, the dcb attributes in the concatenation are the same

Initially , i didnt give any validations and just read the characters at the cursor and opened the member in browse mode, it went fine( im able to open the submodule in browse mode). Then i added code for validationd. then it is nor working fine.

below are the complete attributes of my PDS , where i have written my macro.

do other macros rexx scripts work from the same dataset ??

Nandananilchintala · New User Joined: 25 Mar 2009 Posts: 19 Location: Hyderabad

Yes, ..even the same macro worked as i said, without all those 'IF statements'

enrico-sorichetti · Posted: Thu Mar 26, 2009 6:51 pm

maybe during Your editing sessions the library has acquired a secondary extent
and it is not reflected in the sysexec dd control blocks

logoff, logon and see what happens

Hi,

I have removed some members from the library in which i have written the present macro code( in order ot reduce the size of the library).

But even then im facing the same error.

How about COMPRESSing the PDS?

I tried that option also.....but of no use

Hi friend ..can you try below code it is working fine without any error...

enrico-sorichetti · Posted: Mon Mar 30, 2009 4:07 pm

the issue is not about the macro syntax,
is about a read error on the PDS containing the macro

since Your system is different, the history(changes/updates) of your library is different
there is a little chance that You might experience the same behavior

Hi Lohit,

I tried your code also....

but getting the same error.....

enrico-sorichetti · Posted: Mon Mar 30, 2009 4:33 pm

keep repeating,
it is not an issue with the code, it is an issue with PDS itself,
somehow got clobbered

if the dataset is permanently allocated to Your TSO session...
1) logoff
... ask Your support to
2) allocate a new dataset
3) try to copy the old one into the new one
4) rename the old one to something meaningful to keep it arounfd for a while
5) rename the new to the old one
6) logon and test

if the dataset is not permanently allocated
You can try steps 2,3,4,5 by Yourself

notice... it looks like Your pds has a lot of traffic,
ask Your support on how to allocate it as a PDSE,
or if that is not posible make the allocation larger

Yes...I have issued the command, 'TSO ISRDDN'...i observed the following
all my project related macros are in the PDS which have different record format. They have VB as record format....the libaray in which i have written my macro have FB....
now i allocated a new PDS with VB as record format , but now im getting some other error..it is saying
