Not able to trap the command entered on the Panel in Rexx

Postby Quasar » Sun Aug 12, 2012 10:10 am

Dear friends,

I am making a small tool on my project, to unload DB2 Tables in an MS Excel File Format. The tables to be unloaded are displayed in an ISPF Panel called UNLDPAN2.

Image

This panel contains a dynamic area with SCROLL=ON. I would like to handle the scrolling, through my Rexx Driver Program. I am trying to trap the command entered by the user on this screen. However, I do not get any values in the ZCMD Variable. Kindly let me know, how I can trap the value entered in the command-line area.

In the Rexx paragraph DISPLAY_FILTER_CRITERIA, I DISPLAY PANEL(UNLDPAN2), followed by which I VGET(ZCMD,SCRVAR) Variables. However, I still find ZCMD = ' '.

Remove the VGET. Rexx and ISPF are pretty well integrated... they understand each other's variables.

Hi Pedro,

I have tried doing that as well, but in vain. I am able to get the value SCRVAR = CSR, but I still get the value of ZCMD as ' '.

Are you sure that you did not VGET the zcmd which would destroy the value that is actually in the zcmd?
