Foreground or Batch I couldnt get you

I have created this sample file written some sample records.
Now on the command line I am writing the macro name.
It is saying the it(macroname) could not be found though the dataset in which macro reside is altlib activated.

Yep from the same ID from which I have logged in.

Actually I am new to this new company environment earlier I wrote codes without error and could not even found any sample code here to refer.

Can there be any chances of authorization or something.

Not from the same ID that you logged in as
By session id I mean the screen (session) id
You process the ALTLIB from one of the open screens, and then without swapping screen you then try and execute the macro.

IIRC ISPF does a Build Directory Entry List for its datasets. So it cant find a new entry. Going out of ISPF to the TSO prompt and starting ISPF will do the job.

Yes, X'Mas is celebrated in India too and with full conviction, Peter. A sizeable population of the Christian Community resides in Mumbai (of the Indian state of Maharashtra) and is mainly Roman Catholics. It is a delight to watch their homes during Christmas.

Some Hellenized Hittite, probably; I think that khi has been used as an abbreviation for Khristos since around the third century CE.

The "-mas" part is from the Latin-derived Old English word for "mass", while the "X" comes from the Greek letter Chi, which is the first letter of the Greek word which translated as "Christ".
