What library is a REXX procedure called from?

Postby Richard Eden » Mon Jul 30, 2012 4:27 pm

I need to code something in a REXX procedure that will obtain the name of the PDS library from which the REXX procedure was called. Is there any way that I can do this?

Thanks for any advice.
Richard.

not out of the box.

depending on the way the <exec> was invoked
for common invocation method ( just type the name) the parse source will give You the ddname
after that it' s up to You to scan the concatenation sequence to find out from which dataset the
rexx was fetched

Your find_origin subroutine works perfectly.

Thanks for your help.
