JCL To Execute A REXX Program
| enrico-sorichetti wrote: |
no need to pass the dsname to the rexx script
when running in batch why complicate things
let the jcl allocate the dataset and refer to it by ddname...
interactive snippet ...
Address TSO ALLOC DA(...dsname...) FI(...ddname...)
Address TSO EXECIO * READ ...ddname...
batch snippet
jcl section
//...ddname... DD ...
REXX section
Address TSO EXECIO * READ ...ddname...
less work to be done in rexx, no need to allocate and check the result |
*************************************************************
Sorry to bother, but I tried doing this thing as you told. In fact I was simply trying to copy one file (INFILE) to another (OUTFILE) by this process. The problem is that the Output file is coming out to be empty.
This is the JCL snippet through which I'm running my REXX: (my user id is SD1)
//TSOBATCH EXEC PGM=IKJEFT1A,DYNAMNBR=200
//SYSEXEC DD DSN=SD1.UTIL.CLIST(JCLREX),DISP=SHR
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=*
//INFILE DD DSN=SD1.REX.INPUT,DISP=SHR
//OUTFILE DD DSN=SD1.REX.OUTPUT,DISP=SHR
//SYSTSIN DD *
PROFILE PREFIX(SD1)
This is the REXX snippet:
ADDRESS TSO "EXECIO * DISKR INFILE (FINIS STEM INPREC.)"
ADDRESS TSO "EXECIO * DISKW OUTFILE (FINIS STEM INPREC.)"
The O/P file is not being written properly. Can you suggest what might be going wrong in this case? |

| Have you tried running with TRACE |

I'm not sure if TRACE works with a REXX executed through a JCL.
As per your suggestion, I inserted a "TRACE ALL" at the beginning of the REXX and then executed it though the JCL. It just ran thorugh without showing any execution order. |

| So where are you invoking the REXX program ? |

The REXX routine JCLREX has been executed from the JCL. See the instruction in bold. That's where the REXX is being executed. |

Yes, I know where the REXX is stored, but where is it invoked.
Please post the TRACE output from the run. |

| If you are asking for the TRACE O/P of the REXX that was executed through the JCL then I'm not sure how to get that. As I said, I put a "TRACE ALL" at the beginning of the REXX routine but the execution order was not shown. |

May I suggest that you take some time to read the manuals, easy accessible from the "IBM Manuals" button at the top of each page, and pay attention to the parts that explain executing REXX in a batch job.
There, you will see examples of how to execute the REXX code. |

Hello,
FWIW (once you learn how to initiate the rexx code), possibly the worst way to copy a file is by using rexx and execio. . . |

That was just for testing purpose! I've other things to achieve with this little test rexx run! |

| Code: |
| ADDRESS TSO "EXECIO "inprec.0" DISKW OUTFILE (FINIS STEM INPREC.)" |
would be the proper format ...
EXECIO for write expects as second parameter the number of stem entries to be written |

Thanks a lot! "*" works just as fine though. Actually the problem was with invoking the REXX from JCL. I missed the SYSTSIN data wherein the JCL was to be invoked. This is the corrected JCL (with the missing data in bold):
//TSOBATCH EXEC PGM=IKJEFT1A,DYNAMNBR=200
//SYSEXEC DD DSN=SD1.UTIL.CLIST,DISP=SHR REXX PROGRAM LIBRARY
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=*
//INFILE DD DSN=SD1.REX.INPUT,DISP=SHR
//OUTFILE DD DSN=SD1.REX.OUTPUT1,DISP=OLD
//SYSTSIN DD *
PROFILE PREFIX(SD1)
%JCLREX |
