Lots of ways to do this. Work with the syntax of your PARSE verb. Quick and easy: put the parameter with spaces last:
EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01,PARM='MYREXX P1 P3 P2 IS HERE' PARSE ARG A B C A= 'P1' B= 'P3' C= 'P2 IS HERE' HTH. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Michael Knigge Sent: Wednesday, March 25, 2009 10:56 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Pass Parameter containing spaces to Rexx in BATCH All, I want to pass multiple parameters to a rexx running in batch, but one of the parameters can contain spaces (--> multiple words).
