Sure. You have at least two CATAA EXEC files in your search. The LISTFILE on line 9 returns at least two stacked items which start CATAA ...
You PULL the first off of the stack on Line 11, and then EXIT on line 15. EVERYTHING else that was on the stack now gets dumped out to CMS. What happens when you type CATAA on the CMS command line and press ENTER? Correct - it executes your exec. :) There are much better ways to get data in/out of a REXX program than the very ancient old STACK. May I suggest using a PIPE: 'PIPE COMMAND LISTFILE CATAA EXEC X (DATE | STEM RESULT.' If Result.0=0 Then Say Result.1 /*This will yield "File not found" or something to that effect. Else Do I=1 To Result.0 /*Loop through each result and do something..*/ Say 'Result.'I'='Result.I End Exit Rc /*Exit on LISTFILE's RC*/ Or you could use brute force and put a 'DESBUF' between line 14 and 15 (but that will destroy ALL buffers, if you MUST use the stack look into the equally ancient MAKEBUF/DROPBUF commands). -Mike From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:ib...@listserv.uark.edu] On Behalf Of Sergio Lima Sent: Thursday, October 14, 2010 3:19 PM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: REXX that verify what MINIDISK is a file Hello List, We are changing a REXX here for that this EXEC execute only if reside on X acessed minidisk. So, try with STATE command without succesfull and now try with LISTFILE command. If execute like this : 9 *-* 'LISTFILE cataa exec x (DATE STACK LIFO' >>> "LISTFILE cataa exec x (DATE STACK LIFO" 10 *-* if rc = 0 >>> "1" *-* then *-* do 11 *-* pull x1 x2 x3 . >>> "CATAA" >>> "EXEC" >>> "X2" >.> "V 83 506 4 10/14/10 15:03:32" 12 *-* say x1 >>> "CATAA" CATAA 13 *-* say x2 >>> "EXEC" EXEC 14 *-* say x3 >>> "X2" X2 15 *-* exit But, when try execute with filemode *, lookslike the program go to a LOOPING : 9 *-* 'LISTFILE cataa exec * (DATE STACK LIFO' >>> "LISTFILE cataa exec * (DATE STACK LIFO" 10 *-* if rc = 0 >>> "1" *-* then *-* do 11 *-* pull x1 x2 x3 . >>> "CATAA" >>> "EXEC" >>> "X2" >.> "V 83 506 4 10/14/10 15:03:32" 12 *-* say x1 >>> "CATAA" CATAA 13 *-* say x2 >>> "EXEC" EXEC 14 *-* say x3 >>> "X2" X2 15 *-* exit 9 *-* 'LISTFILE cataa exec * (DATE STACK LIFO' >>> "LISTFILE cataa exec * (DATE STACK LIFO" 10 *-* if rc = 0 >>> "1" *-* then *-* do 11 *-* pull x1 x2 x3 . >>> "CATAA" >>> "EXEC" The command in the line show this : listfile cataa exec * CATAA EXEC A2 CATAA EXEC X2 Ready; T=0.01/0.01 16:17:00 Someone can help, how can verify if this EXEC is not running from X disk ?
