Hello list, I've been poring through the FileManager manuals and either am missing something or it doesn't exist regarding security. We're running FM 13.1 under ISPF so non-APF authorized. I needed to grant the capability for browsing tape datasets to a developer. I did this granting READ

Found this in an IBM publication (SA32-0982-00): When you invoke a REXX exec either implicitly or explicitly using the EXEC command. You can pass either one or no arguments to the exec. Thus the ARG instruction in the preceding examples received only one argument. One argument can consist of

Ok gentlemen, I’m going to jump in on this but because I’m not sure of the implementation of the REXX code in question I may be a little off. Basically, if the code is running under TSO batch or online there is only “1” argument passed to the code. There is a limitation on how long that may

If you need to include all 22 arguments, just make the last one bigger and parse it a second time to get the results. For example: 01 /* REXX */ 02 rs = ALERTSN(SEV,TYPENAME,ELEMENT,DESC,STATUS,STSDESC,,
