Hi,
When i run the following command in the command line,it invoked the filemaster plus in edit mode and it is working fine.
%CAWAXEDT
But when i invoked this macro(CAWAXEDT) in my rexx macro,it is invoking filemaster plus in edit mode.But when i tried editing it,it is giving edit error.
Code:
"ISREDIT MACRO"
CSRDATA ="FU601.FIB52014.OUTPUT"
ADDRESS ISPEXEC
ISPEXEC "VIEW DATASET ("CSRDATA") MACRO(CAWAXEDT)"

Ok - give us a clue! Which of the hundreds of edit errors possible did it give? What ws the result of turning on Trace in you macro? I suspect you have an extra high level index added by tso.

hi nic,
i found out the solution for my problem.So now my macro F1 is invoking the filemaster plus and it is working fine.but the issue is,it is not opening the proper dataset.Please find the document attached for the screenshots.

Select all

REXX macro :F1
"ISREDIT MACRO"
ADDRESS ISPEXEC
CALL "CAWAEDT"
RETURN

Code'd. Attachment deleted.

Please copy/paste screenshots and include them in the Code tags to preserve spacing.

Why do you use F1 to start this up. Pretty much everywhere, F1 is the key for Help. Makes it very confusing when also used for something else.

Hi BillyBoyo,
I have renamed my macro as 'fe'.Please find the screenshots below:

Select all

Menu Options View Utilities Compilers Help
ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
DSLIST - Data Sets Matching FU601.SVI.GARSCA4M.SORTFS92 Row 1 of 1
Command ===> Scroll ===> CSR

Command - Enter "/" to select action Message Volume
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
fe FU601.SVI.GARSCA4M.SORTFS92 F601F7
***************************** End of Data Set list ****************************

When i run my macro,it is invoking the filemaster plus in edit mode as below:

Select all

--------------------- CA File Master Plus -- Edit Dataset --------------------
COMMAND ===>

Specify Dataset to Edit:
Dataset name ===> FU601.NBF.SVI.RENDIFID.NORNOD
Member name ===>
Volume ===> If dataset not cataloged

Record Layout for Formatted Displays:
Layout dataset ===>
Layout member ===>

Selection Criteria below or Selection Criteria Member ===>
===>
===>
===>

Display mode ===> C ( C Character S Single-rec Format M Multi-rec Format )
Change Log ===> N ( Y for logging Edit changes)

But the problem is,it should invoke it with dataset name 'FU601.SVI.GARSCA4M.SORTFS92 ' instead of FU601.NBF.SVI.RENDIFID.NORNOD .So could you tell me how to do that

You have been asked to use the code tags to make your screenshots readable (green on black like a "green screen"). If you are not prepared to do what is asked of you to make our task easier then why should we help you?

Back to your problem...
I am not sure but I would not try and execute a macro like you have - usually it is a command or a rexx exec. So that could be the start of your problem. Also it looks as though the filemaster 'macro' is not a macro but a program and it gets which file to populate the panel with from one of the variable pools.

Hello,

Your post has been "Code'd". Keep in mind it is much easier to delete posts than clean them up . . .

And it is trivial for the poster to Code things . . .

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.Sorry i was not able to paste the screenshot over there.
I have a requirement to do this macro and it will be useful to us.
