Hi All,
Am writing a CLIST to execute a command.
My CLIST Starts as below
But DSN = 'TEST.FILE'
As per the CLIST , I want DSN = TEST.FILE (Without quotes)
Do we have any Rexx STRIP equivalent function in CLIST?
or Any other suggestions to remove quotes in CLIST?
Thanks! |

| You can use &SYSINDEX, &SUBSTR and &LENGTH built-in functions to test for occurance of quotes and copy what's needed. See CLIST built-in functions |

| Or convert it to Rexx. That is my preferred solution except in rare cases. |

Hi Joerg,
I have used the below code

SET DSN = 'TEST.UPEN.FILE'
SET A = &LENGTH(&DSN)
SET B = &A - 1
SET C = &SUBSTR(2:&B,&DSN) |
OUTPUT as below :
