How to invoke Spufi from REXX to query DB2

Hello All,

Good Day..

Please throw some light on how to invoke SPUFI from REXX program. i have googled& found that we can invoke SPUFI from REXX..

I am thinking to use below procedure

1) Throw Panel & get SQL WHERE predicates information
2) Prepare query & place it in SPUFI input dataset
3) Invoke spufi to excute query ( Here i dont need to display SPUFI panels)
4) Parse SPUFI output dataset to my needs
5) Display results to user

I am able to achieve all steps except invoking SPUFI from REXX

Please help me in this, Thanks in advance

Hello,

There is no need to use "SPUFI".

Search the forum for topics where REXX invokes DB2/SQL.

I wonder ...
SPUFI ( the real one ) does all that, why reinvent the wheel ?

unfortunately there is too much approximation in the terminology used

all the utilities ( SORT included ) are JCL
all the ways of accessing DB2 outside of a program are SPUFI

how nice if people could learn to use the terminology appropriate to each situation

and... NO, I do not believe that it is related to E2Lness,
just sloppy neurons

Thanks dick,

I have tried using DSNREXX to query DB2 and i dont have corresponding loadlibs in my login procedure so i m getting Routine not found error (at RXSUBCOM('ADD','DSNREXX','DSNREXX'), so i thought as an alternative i can invoke SPUFI to run queries as i can directly run Queries in SPUFI option.

Please advice

Hi Enrico,

Sorry for confusing you with my terminology

My intention was not to reinvent SPUFI, i will do some processing not just display after query excuted (i.e. output dataset after SPUFI ran).
I have mentioned 'Display results to user ' just to make my requirement simple

Thanks

as You were told in Your other topic
]talk to Your support to have the proper libraries in Your logon procedure
DSN910.SDSNLOAD

SPUFI is designed to run under the DSN program, but only
online in TSO/ISPF

You could use DSNTEP2 or DSNTEP4 to do "BATCH SPUFI"

yes Enrico, i have tried that option but no luck, my manager rejected my request to have those loadlibs in our team login procedure with some reasons and asked me to look for alternatives..

Thanks

And has your shop any tools for adding a load library to a TSO STEPLIB concatenation after log on?

Hi ,

On ready prompt
use TSOLIB ACTIVATE DS ('DB2LIB.SDSNLOAD') .

This will add SDSNLOAD to your search order .

Then try DSNREXX .

It should work .
