I am creating a dynamic JCL through a Rexx program.
In one of SYSIN Steps of the dynamic JCL i need to pass few values in lower case letters.
i gave it as below.
| Code: |
SELECT
WHEN region = 'TEST' THEN DO
[b]regn [/b]= 't'
END
END |
| Code: |
upper = 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'
lower = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
[b]regn1[/b] = translate([b]regn[/b], lower, upper)
QUEUE '//JVEDTSAR EXEC '||procver||'
QUEUE '// SUBMINP='''||in_dsn||'('||membr||')'',
QUEUE '//S120.SYSIN DD DSN='||cclib||'(CP95115C),DISP=SHR
QUEUE '//S130.STDENV *
QUEUE 'Region='||[b]regn1[/b]||' |
but when JCL got created it is displaying value of regn1 field in 'T', instead of 't'
let me know how i print in lowe case
Appreciate your support

Thank s for the tip. but it didn't work,
Acutally i am creating a jcl and writing to a PS file which is being allocated by Rexx.
This is how i am allocating the file (OUTFILE)
| Code: |
IF sysreason = 0 THEN DO
"DELETE '"schd_dsn"'"
END
"ALLOC FI(OUTFILE) NEW SP(1 1) TR DSORG(PS) RECFM(F B)
LRECL(80) DSN('"schd_dsn"')" |
i am wring the dynamic JCl to file (OUTFILE) as below
| Code: |
maxbuf = QUEUED()
DO indx = 1 TO maxbuf BY 1
PULL record
IF record > '' THEN
QUEUE record /* only want records
END
QUEUE ''
"EXECIO * DISKW OUTFILE" |
is it possible to set CAPS OFF when the OUTFILE file is being created |

After dataset allocation, code something like this
| Code: |
| ADDRESS ISPEXEC 'EDIT DATASET('DSNNAME') MACRO(CAPS OFF)' |

i gave as below after allocating to dsnname
schd_dsn = user||'.T.CSP.Q.'||membr
ADDRESS ISPEXEC 'EDIT DATASET('"schd_dsn"') MACRO(CAPS OFF)' after created
but when i open the JCL inside schd_dsn, it is still shown REGION=T, which needs to be shown as REGION=t
//S130.STDENV *
REGION=T |

Why, if you have set the value to a lower-case "t", do you attempt to translate it from uppercase?
Are you aware of what PULL is equivalent to in terms of PARSE?
Do you know how to use Trace?
The code you've shown won't give you REGION= once you've corrected it for the "t". |

Please use the code tags when posting code and data. You want help so make it as easy as possible for others to help. By using the code tags we can read your code better. |

Bill gave you this hint:

You should have read the Rexx Reference manual by now. If you have not yet read the section about PULL already, please do so now. |

I will sum up my orignrial requirement
The JCL i am preparing thru Rexx requires few chracters to be shown in lower case letteres (eg. regn value 't' in below code),
| Code: |
SELECT
WHEN region = 'TEST' THEN DO
regn = 't' |
The regn value will be set in dynamic JCL as below
| Code: |
QUEUE '//JVEDTSAR EXEC '||procver||'
QUEUE '// SUBMINP='''||in_dsn||'('||membr||')'',
QUEUE '// S5PARM='''||comp||accmo||accyr||' 'LEFT(membr,16,' ')
QUEUE '//S120.SYSIN DD DSN='||cclib||'(CP95115C),DISP=SHR
QUEUE '//S130.STDENV *
QUEUE 'Region='||regn||' |
When i put TRACE option, lower case is correctly shown, like Region=t, which is what required.
| Code: |
*-* QUEUE '//JVEDTSAR EXEC '||procver||'
>>> "//JVEDTSAR EXEC CPT11103
*-* QUEUE '// SUBMINP='''||in_dsn||'('||membr||')'',
>>> "// SUBMINP='I90113.D54DC.CSPI.COMP.DATA(C701OSL2)',
*-* QUEUE '// S5PARM='''||comp||accmo||accyr||' 'LEFT(membr,16,
>>> "// S5PARM='00810612 C701OSL2 01',"
*-* QUEUE '//S120.SYSIN DD DSN='||cclib||'(CP95115C),DISP=SHR
>>> "//S120.SYSIN DD DSN=TEST.CONTROL(CP95115C),DISP=SHR
*-* QUEUE '//S130.STDENV *
>>> "//S130.STDENV *
*-* QUEUE 'Region='||regn||'
>>> "Region=t |
After writing to a Dataset which is allocated thru Rexx, and when we open the dataset it showing as REGION=T
I believe when the dataset is allocated CAPS ON is in place. Is there any way to overide with CAPS OFF
As per earlier not i have put below statement after the data set is apllocated, but it didn't work
ADDRESS ISPEXEC 'EDIT DATASET('DSNNAME') MACRO(CAPS OFF)'
I gone through internet, but didn't get a solution
Appreciate yoy whole some support. I hope the information provided helps to give a solution
Thanks |

We know what your requirement is as it relates to the "t". We don't know why you are doing various things you are doing (like trying to convert it from uppercase to lowercase) but we know why your "t" has become a "T".
Forget the CAPS stuff for this. It is a Red Herring.

PULL
| Code: |
PULL ;
template_list |
PULL reads a string from the head of the external data queue. It is just a short
form of the instruction:
| Code: |
PARSE UPPER PULL ;
template_list
|
|
That is the bit from the manual which Pedro suggested you locate.
When you use PULL it is exactly the same as if you code PARSE UPPER PULL. Guess what the UPPER does? I suggest you follow Pedro's suggestion and read the manual.
If you are only going to look at the Trace output as far as you feel like, what was the point? You need to look at it until the data "goes bad", not until it passes the code that you "know" is wrong with everything (except perhaps the Region=, that is now unclear what is OK for you) OK. |

The example which enrico posted worked for me too
however when i tried with another small example it didn't give the expected result
sample example

/* */
/* - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - */
Trace "O"

queue '//S130.STDENV * '
queue 'Region=t '
"ALLOC FI(OUTFILE) NEW SP(1 1) TR DSORG(PS) RECFM(F B)
LRECL(80) DSN('I90113.TEST.NEW1')"
maxbuf = queued()
DO indx = 1 TO maxbuf BY 1
PULL record
IF record > '' THEN
queue record /* only want records other than null or spaces */
END
queue ""
"EXECIO * DISKW OUTFILE (FINIS"
"FREE FI(OUTFILE) "
Exit 0 |

Since i am novice in Rexx, is it anything related to writing from Queue

Referring on PARSE option in net, i gave it as below, but it threw syntax error oin PARSE Statement
| Code: |
maxbuf = queued()
DO indx = 1 TO maxbuf BY 1
PARSE CASELESS PULL record
IF record > '' THEN
queue record /* only want records other than null or spaces
END |

any reason to go thru the queue/pull shit, when You just re-process the data You just queued ?
since You do the queue, just queue only the things You need ! |

Why did you specify CASELESS? This parameter is for Object Rexx only.
See what happens if you just code PARSE PULL.

Expect some problems with this part too:

It is missing something...
And I'd like to see the answer to this question:

On the internet, I found the possible reason why you could not get to a caps off profile.
Presumably, 'CAPS OFF' Macro didn't work because you are limited to only one word macro name. And since 'CAPS OFF' are 2 words, it didn't work.
You need to try this:
var1='OFF'
"EDIT DATASET('DSNNAME') MACRO(CAPS) PARM(VAR1)"
and see if it works for you this way

the discussion about CAPS ON/OFF is completely unrelated and irrelevant for the original issue...
getting the ISPF warning will simply depend on the workflow ...
for the sample I posted the sequence
running the script
editing the file will result in the warning message (sometimes !)
exiting with cancel
RE-editng the file will not give the warning
because even with the cancel the ISPF edit profile based on the last qualifier will have been saved |

The 'macro name' parameter should be (wait for it...) the name of a macro! Where the macro is the name of a member from SYSEXEC, SYSPROC, or the name of a compiled program.
It will not work to specify the name of a editor macro service name instead of the member name. |
