ISPF PanExit question

2014-04-24 Thread Dyck, Lionel
I'm looking for a good example of using a REXX panel exit. I've tried and get an error. Here is the pertinent code and message: )PROC PANEXIT ((Field1 Field2 Field3 zuser),REXX,PANEXIT,EXITDATA,MSG=PEX001) )END Error message: Exit data or message field defined incorrectly for panel exit.

I think you must have a '' before 'EXITDATA': PANEXIT ((Field1 Field2 Field3 zuser),REXX,PANEXIT,EXITDATA,MSG=PEX001) Best Regards, Thomas Berg ___ Thomas Berg Specialist zOS/RQM/IT Delivery Swedbank AB (Publ)

Here in this forum and elsewhere the notion that since the binder's support for AMODE(SPLIT) had been little used it would not be necessary or desirable to provide an analogous binder facility for mixing AMODE(31) and AMODE(64) in the same executable was widely reported. (I use the word

Yes RESMIL(5) will reduce cpu consumption, it will also potentially cause performance delays to your jobs, as each system will hold the enq request for a minimum of 5 ms. If you have any applications that generate alot of enqueues, that need to be sent through the ring, they will run longer.
