Hi All,

Is it possible to create package using rexx. In my new assignment I have bulk endevor package creation task, Its painful to give Package info for each package. Is it possible to automate this..?

[kevingrimes]

Yes, you can easily create a Rexx program to automate the Endevor package creation process. The easiest way is to create an Endevor package using the "Batch Package" option and then capturing the JCL and control cards. Armed with this information, you can easily write a Rexx program to create the necessary JCL and control cards to create your packages automatically.

Regards,
Kevin

could you please help with the example, for how to
1. create the package through rexx?
2. cast the package through rexx?
3. approve the package through rexx?
4. Reset the package through rexx?
5. execute the package through rexx?

Thank you.

1) Do not tailgate an old topic. Start your own.
2) What does the manual say about your multople questions? Have you even tried the manual - or PF1?

In all fairness, if you look at the response history for this topic you'll see it was started in July, the first response was in November, then it was just now tailgated. IMO the request from mail2ram is unreasonable, I thought to tailgate this with my boilerplate hire a consultant response, but I decided it was inappropriate and let it go.
