Hi,
I would like to execute a QMF proc (which runs multiple queries) from REXX. Is it possible? My Rexx has one Panel which will take input from user and it will run the QMF.
I can run QMF in batch mode from rexx by building a JCL, but I would like to know if we can do it directly.
I did a search, all I can find it converting QMF proc to a rexx qmf proc.
Thank you |

| I don't know QMF, but most batch processes can run under REXX by allocating datasets dynamicaly and then calling the program with Address TSO "pgmname" or Address AttchMVS pgmname, depending on what parameters must be passed. |

You should become familiar with the ALTLIB and TSOLIB commands of TSO.
ALTLIB: define a file where to search for rexx programs.
TSOLIB: defines a file where to search for load modules. |

| TSOLIB sadly cannot be used from within a REXX running under ISPF. But the TSO CALL should work, though it will not create a tasklib. |

| TSO CALL always creates a tasklib when the program is specified as dsname(program). Obviously it cannot create a tasklib when the program is specified as *(program). |

Sorry, TSO CALL does indeed create a tasklib for "call dsname(program)", I had a senior moment.  |
