I'm trying to write a CLIST to make life easier on our Operations staff. They
constantly have problems correctly entering the dataset name of the offload
tape, so I created this simple CLIST to help.
PROC 1 OFILE
CONTROL MSG LIST CONLIST
WRITE DSN=&OFILE
$TOFFLOAD1,DSN=&OFILE
>From ISPF, the operator issues =3.4 to list the available offload tapes.
DSLIST - Data Sets Matching TS.PSYS.OFF*
Command ===>
Command - Enter "/" to select action
-----------------------------------------
TS.PSYS.OFF1.FEB01
TS.PSYS.OFF1.FEB04
TS.PSYS.OFF1.FEB05
offdsn TS.PSYS.OFF1.FEB06
TS.PSYS.OFF1.FEB07
TS.PSYS.OFF1.FEB08
TS.PSYS.OFF1.FEB11
TS.PSYS.OFF1.FEB12
TS.PSYS.OFF1.FEB13
TS.PSYS.OFF1.FEB14
My plan was that the operator would select the correct tape and enter the CLIST
name in the command line. The CLIST would do the rest.
The CLIST returns the selected data set name but it's enclosed in single
quotes. I'm including the message it returns:
WRITE DSN='TS.PSYS.OFF1.FEB06'
DSN='TS.PSYS.OFF1.FEB06'
$TOFFLOAD1,DSN=&OFILE
$TOFFLOAD1,DSN='TS.PSYS.OFF1.FEB06'
A command entered or contained in a CLIST has invalid syntax.
How do I turn off those quotes?
