hi,
i just tried to automate the RACF command ADDUSER using REXX but showed an error "incorrect name syntax"

is it possible to use ADDUSER command using rexx?
Regards

why is the sky blue?
Please give us real information and error messages about your problem, then you can ask a question. From what you wrote I assume that the adduser name does not respect the racf syntax for the name.

ADDUSER is not a TSO command but you are passing it to TSO. It is a RACF command - RACF is not TSO.
The problem I have is that people can explain things quickly but I can only comprehend slowly.

ADDUSER is a TSO command provided with the IBM RACF product. So you can say it is both a RACF command and a TSO command.

You get the IKJ56621I INVALID COMMAND NAME SYNTAX message if there is something wrong with the command name; 1234 entered as a TSO command will give this message. I suspect the real problem is elsewhere since I don't see anything obviously wrong with the ADDUSER command in the initial post. I have run the ADDUSER command in TSO CLISTs (I don't do Rexx) with no problem.

if the command is as posted a closing parenthesis is missing for the TSO parameter

I stand corrected - further educated:)

To say it a little bit differently...

Using Address TSO causes a search in the normal places for the named command (a load module, or even CLIST or REXX program). And for it to be called using a particular parameter convention.

Various products can be installed and their commands will work in TSO even though they are not provided by the TSO product. See TSO/E Programming Guide.

Return to CLIST & REXX
