Hello All,
Could you please provide me a sample code to create flat file dynamically in REXX.
Thanks,
Harish. |

Hello,
I have already done searching for sample code in google and found the below code but it is not creating file.
ALLOCDS:
FILENAME = "ABC.FEP."||PGMNAME||".SEQ"
"ALLOCATE DATASET('"FILENAME"') NEW SPACE(5,1) DSORG(PS) RECFM(F)",
"LRECL(80) BLKSIZE(800)"
IF RC > 0 THEN DO
SAY "ERROR " RC " FAILURE TO ALLOCATE DATASET " FILENAME
EXIT 8
END
RETURN
Thanks,
Harish |

| So what happens when you run the code? Do you get any messages? What does the message say? How about running the code with the trace on? |

The allocated command specified above,
| Code: |
"ALLOCATE DATASET('"FILENAME"') NEW SPACE(5,1) DSORG(PS) RECFM(F)",
"LRECL(80) BLKSIZE(800)" |
works fine. Exact error message would be useful in helping you find a solution than "but it is not creating file. " |

The sample you provided is absolutely correct.
Creating a flat file means two things:
- Use the NEW parameter on the ALLOC statement together with all necessary data set attributes
- Use PS as data set organization
What went wrong when you run the program?
Post your full code together with the output to let somebody check what had happened. |

as i said the situation is very murky
I was tempted to post as my first comment ...
You dummy , NEW ok but after that aren' t You missing something,
by I was in a wisdom moment and ...
the manual tells
| Quote: |
| If you specify a data set name, a NEW data set is kept and cataloged. If you do not specify a data set name, it is deleted when you free it or log off. |
but that holds only when using the TSO allocate
when using the BPXWDYN interface, things behave in a different way ,
the dataset gets delete afterwards
also I noticed that using TSO allocate the datasets gets allocated to a STORAGE volume
when using BPXWDYIN it gets allocated to a PUBLIC volume
anyway it is always better to use all the logic parameters and not let them default
and remember, when using BPXWDYN the KEYWORDS AND THE SYNTAX ARE <DIFFERENT> from the tso ALLOC |

Hello,
I am using the pgm PGM=IRXJCL, that is the reason the file is not getting created.
Could you please tell me how to create the file using the above program.
Thanks,
Harish |

for what effing reason why didn ' t You post that info from the beginning instead of having people wasting time to test and research to help You ?
do You have a doctor' s prescription to use irxjcl !
search the forums and read the manuals
no reason for anybody to waste time on badly asked questions 
and above all learn how to post properly
to make the most out of the questions You ask and to forecast the comments You might receive
it would be wise for You to read and meditate on
how to ask questions the smart way
here catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

I am not a REXX expert. I am still in a learning stage. I was doing some more research on the above issue and came to know that the above code does not work with irxjcl pgm.I have implemented most of the REXX code with irxjcl pgm hence thought the above code will also work.
I have some questions to you.
Why didn't this question came into u r mind?
You would have asked this question to me earlier itself.right? |

Hi Dick,
in this case it' my usual dumbness that made think about people having done a bitsy bit of homework and due diligence in telling
for the TS
the usual assumption is that the REXX has been run under IKJEFTxx so it is Your duty to tell otherwise from the beginning if it is not so |

You are not an expert in anything, Sunny Jim, else you'd know that ALLOCATE is a TSO command, not a Rexx statement or function, and that IKJEFTxx is background TSO, whilst IRXJCL is the Rexx batch interpreter.
I see that you've been a member of this site for six years, but claim no mainframe skills. That, to my mind, is entirely correct  |
