I have a little dataset which contains
//REMOTE DD DISP=SHR,DSN=MSYS.UCMD.REMOTE&PDQR.(&SYSTEM)
//REMOTE DD DISP=SHR,DSN=MSYS.UCMD.REMOTE&PDQR.(SYSTEM)
//REMOTE DD DISP=SHR,DSN=MSYS.UCMD.REMOTE&PDQR(SYSTEM)
//SYSIN DD DISP=SHR,DSN=&PDQ.ALC.UNVLIB(&UCMIN)
X/MYSCRIPT DD DISP=SHR,DSN=&PDQ.ALC.UNVLIB(&MY)
I have a little REXX which I want to "FIND" these strings
/* REXX */
TRACE I
Address ISPEXEC
"ISREDIT MACRO (MEM) NOPROCESS"
"CONTROL ERRORS RETURN"
"ISREDIT F ALL 'DISP=SHR,DSN=MSYS.UCMD.REMOTE' "
"ISREDIT F ALL 'DISP=SHR,DSN=MSYS.UCMD.REMOTE&PDQR' "
"ISREDIT F ALL 'DISP=SHR,DSN=MSYS.UCMD.REMOTE&PDQR.' "
"ISREDIT F ALL 'DISP=SHR,DSN=MSYS.UCMD.REMOTE&PDQR.(' "
"ISREDIT F ALL 'DISP=SHR,DSN=MSYS.UCMD.REMOTE&PDQR.(&' "
"ISREDIT F ALL 'DISP=SHR,DSN=MSYS.UCMD.REMOTE&PDQR.(&SYSTEM)' "
"ISREDIT F ALL 'DISP=SHR,DSN=&PDQ.ALC.UNVLIB(&UCMIN)' "
"ISREDIT F ALL 'DISP=SHR,DSN=&PDQ.ALC.UNVLIB(&MY)' "
EXIT
The First Three FIND's work fine. Starting from the fourth find,
they all get RC=4, not found. Even tho I can clearly see that the strings
exist in the dataset. What in the whirled is going on here?? Is there
something "special" about two &'s in a string? I have tried removing the
second & from both the find and my dataset and the find still fails. I am
at wits end here.
I have also tried "extracting" the actual finds like: F ALL
'DISP=SHR,DSN=&PDQ.ALC.UNVLIB(&MY)'and executing them in TSO, and they all
work. What is special here. FYI, the final " is in col 71
