This is a method for using system symbolics in the clist that calls ISHELL
(actually REXX)
clist = "SYSX.ZOS.BASE."mvsvar('symdef','zosver')".SBPXEXEC"
ispmlib = "SYSX.ZOS.BASE."mvsvar('symdef','zosver')".SBPXMENU"
ispplib = "SYSX.ZOS.BASE."mvsvar('symdef','zosver')".SBPXPENU"
isptlib = "SYSX.ZOS.BASE."mvsvar('symdef','zosver')".SBPXTENU"
ADDRESS TSO "ALTLIB ACT APPL(CLIST) DA('"clist"')"
ADDRESS ISPEXEC "LIBDEF ISPMLIB DATASET ID('"ispmlib"') STACK"
ADDRESS ISPEXEC "LIBDEF ISPPLIB DATASET ID('"ispplib"') STACK"
ADDRESS ISPEXEC "LIBDEF ISPTLIB DATASET ID('"isptlib"') STACK"
address tso "OMVS CONVERT((BPXFX211))"
the symbol zosver lives in parmlib IEASYMxx member
so instead of
SET &TEST1 = &STR(&LPARNAME.)
Try
SET
.

Subject: Re: CLIST Question
A leading & indicate a parameter, function, operator or variable. System
symbols are not part of the CLIST language; you need to use a predefined CLIST
function to retrieve them.
&STR() and &NSTR() are quoting operators.
Most things are easier in REXX.

I am attempting to use a SYSTEM SYMBOL in a CLIST and its not
Resolving
SET &TEST1 = &STR(&LPARNAME.)
What am doing wrong ?
