The XMITIP doc says that it will handle dsnames the same as TSO, that is, partially qualified names get your prefix added, and fully qualified dsnames must be inside single quotes.
I think you are just running into the way TSO parses the quotes. You may need to make sure the quotes get passed into XMITIP by doubling them. For example: EX 'SYS2.LOCAL.CLIST(XMITIP)' '''TM#T.M.XMITIP.PARMCARD.userid1''' That may be hard to see, so here is what that is: 1. One set of single quotes around the whole parameter value 2. 2 sets of single quotes (not double quotes) around the dsname so that XMITIP will see 1 set of single quotes. for a total of 3 single quotes on each side of the dsname. Or, if you allocate 'SYS2.LOCAL.CLIST' to your SYSPROC ddname, you should be able to do this: %XMITIP 'TM#.M.XMITIP.PARMCARD' and use only a single set of quotes. When you are calling certain tools, the quote doubling may depend on how many levels of CLIST or REXX are nested. I once had a tool where I had to put 6 single quotes on each side of a fully qualified dsname to be able to pass a fully qualified dsname with a single set of single quotes all the way to the inside. It depends on how the clists or rexx expect to see the quotes.
