Any variables used in the panel definition are available in the shared variable pool, and are accessible by the application program. One advantage of using CLIST or REXX to call a panel definition is that both languages can directly access ISPF variables and can treat them as a native variable.

For example, if a panel has a field designated as input:

)ATTR
% TYPE(TEXT) INTENS(HIGH)
+ TYPE(TEXT) INTENS(LOW)
_ TYPE(INPUT) INTENS(HIGH) PAD('_')
# TYPE(OUTPUT) INTENS(LOW) PAD(' ')
)BODY
...
+Enter Your Name%=>_myname +
....

You can directly use the variable "myname" in your REXX exec:

/* REXX */
Do Forever
"ISPEXEC DISPLAY PANEL(MYPANEL)"
If rc <> 0 Then Leave
End
Say myname

Hi Spock,

If we are getting the variables from the user through Panel, we should use

VPUT (MYNAME) SHARED
Then need to use VGET (MYNAME) SHARED in the REXX, right

Thanks

If the variable is entered via an ISPF panel invoked from the REXX the variable name will contain the value entered by the user with no need to VPUT/VGET anything.
