Hello,
OK to ask for some help please, or where might I go?:-) Am not a sysprog, hope
to be back on a z/OS machine in a short while, have to convert several ooREXX's
to mainframe acceptability so, to save some mainframe time $'s, if I may, will
ask neophyte questions (have googled); that said ..
.. this REXX CJM1 will run from TSO/ISPF Option 6 and is:
/* REXX CJM1 */
CALL PARA1
CALL PARA2
CALL PARA3
EXIT
/* this needs to delete an empty or non-empty PDS from existence, do I need to
allocate etc, or will the following work? */
PARA1:
F1 = '"ENCORE.CBL.SOURCE"'
"DELETE "'F1'"" /* TRYING TO GET MY HEAD AROUND THESE QUOTE'Y THINGS */
RC_REASON = 'DELETE 'F1; CALL RETCODE
RETURN
/* this needs to
1. create a new PDS if it's not there
2. empty it if it is there
*/
PARA2:
F2 = '"CONRAD.TEST.CPYBKS"'
"ALLOC DA("'F2'") NEW REUSE RECFM(F B) LRECL(80)",
"DIR(255) SPACE(50,10) TRACKS UNIT(SYSDA)"
RC_REASON = 'ALLOC I 'F2; CALL RETCODE
/* WISE TO FREE THIS FIRST?; IF ALLOC FAILS, CAN I ASSUME FILE NOT THERE */
RETURN
/* this needs to read and print a PDS member; is there a 'not so crude' way */
PARA3:
F3 = '"SUPPORT.FILE.PDS(FDQKVS)"'
"ALLOC DDNAME(INFILE1) DSN("'F3'") SHR REUSE"
RC_REASON = 'ALLOC I 'F3; CALL RETCODE
/* WISE TO FREE THIS FIRST?; IF ALLOC FAILS, CAN I ASSUME FILE NOT THERE */
F3_EOF = 'NO'
DO WHILE F3_EOF = 'NO'
"EXECIO 1 DISKR INFILE1"
IF RC = 0 THEN DO
PULL WS_INB
SAY SUBSTR(WS_INB,1,79)
END
ELSE DO
F3_EOF = 'YES'
END
END
"EXECIO 0 DISKR INFILE1 (FINIS"
RC_REASON = 'FINIS 'F3; CALL RETCODE
"FREE DDNAME(INFILE1)"
RC_REASON = 'FREE 'F3; CALL RETCODE
RETURN
RETCODE:
IF RC \= 0 THEN DO
SAY 'E: 'RC_REASON' PROBLEM'; EXIT
END
ELSE DO
SAY 'I: 'RC_REASON' OK'
END
RETURN
.. thanks in advance,
Graham Hobbs
PS. Not being 'deep' .. why is I/O coding different between mainframe and
ooREXX? Did it have to be?
