You should get an error code if your workarea is too small and a value of what size you need. Bigger is better.
Hanging? Did you cause it to scan all your catalogs which takes a fair amount of time? Not working? It has always worked for me, but I did not always get the results I wanted if I asked for date fields with both a two and four digit year. Removing one of those requests got the data I wanted. The return codes explain what you get, so you need to know what they mean. I updated the REXX0003 code I previously mentioned. And I noticed I have REXX0054 out there too. They both were created to help dump the fields that are returned to visualize what comes back and as a model for how to break out what the WORKAREA returns. From that you can modify them when necessary. I have a note in one that z/OS 1.9 needed some updates. You need to tailor them based on what you are running. And use the manual to understand what you are getting back. These are samples, like the one in SAMPLIB, it worked on the system I last ran it on, it may not run on your system without changes. It is an API, which means you call it and handle what you get back. On Tue, 10 Mar 2009 14:46:33 -0500, L D Owen <[email protected]> wrote: >It may be that your WORK area is too small.
