Hello,

I'm new to edit macros and I'm trying to execute a REXX macro through a batch job. The REXX code that I have written works perfectly well when I execute it using the 'TSO EXEC' command. However, it is not working when I try to execute it through the JCL.

After running it with TRACE option, I realized that it has got something to do ADDRESS/ISREDIT/ISPEXEC Statements as I'm getting RC -3 for them.

Can someone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong ?

Below are the JCL and REXX details -

Code:
//*********************************************************   
//*RUN REXX                                               *   
//*********************************************************   
//STEP02   EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01                                   
//SYSEXEC  DD DSN='ZXXXXXX.TEST.REXX',DISP=SHR                 
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*                                         
//SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=*                                         
//SYSUT2   DD SYSOUT=*                                         
//SYSTSIN  DD *                                               
  %SARLIST2 'ZXXXXXX.USERA.REPORT1'                           
/*


Code:
/** REXX **/

/** EXECUTING MACRO TO EXTRACT JOB RUN DETAILS **/                     
       QL   = 'SARLIST'                                                 
       ADDRESS ISPEXEC 'VPUT (QL) PROFILE'                             
       ADDRESS ISPEXEC "VIEW DATASET("RPTDSN") MACRO(RPTMACRO)"         
       ADDRESS ISPEXEC 'VGET (OUTDSN) PROFILE'                         
       OUTDSNP = STRIP(OUTDSN)                                         
    SAY 'OUTDSNP VALUE IS ' OUTDSNP

Thank you in advance!

-3 means that you have not established the ISPF environment.
Sample:
Code:
//ISP     EXEC PGM=IKJEFT1B                           
//SYSEXEC  DD DISP=SHR,DSN=your.exec                   
//SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=*                                 
//ISPMLIB  DD DISP=SHR,DSN=ISP.SISPMENU               
//ISPPLIB  DD DISP=SHR,DSN=ISP.SISPPENU               
//ISPSLIB  DD DISP=SHR,DSN=ISP.SISPSENU               
//ISPTLIB  DD DISP=SHR,DSN=ISP.SISPTENU               
//ISPPROF  DD UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(TRK,(1,1,1)),         
//            DCB=(ISP.SISPMENU)                       
//ISPLOG   DD SYSOUT=*,RECFM=VA,LRECL=125,BLKSIZE=129 
//ISPLST1  DD SYSOUT=*                                 
//ISPFILE  DD SYSOUT=*,RECFM=FB,LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=6240 
//SYSTSIN  DD *                                       
 ISPSTART CMD(your-command)

This was not mentioned nor indicated in the example:
You have to establish an ISPF environment AND you have to start an ISPF editor session in order to use editor macro statements.

(though, you do not actually do any editor stuff in your program - maybe remove the ISREDIT stuff from your rexx program).
