Execute Edit Macro from User library.

Execute Edit Macro from User library.

Postby nayanpatra » Fri Feb 19, 2010 3:52 pm

Actually I am trying to execute a Rexx Macro from my own library. Could anyone help me with the procedure of achieving this since my PDS is just an user library and NOT a SYSPROC or SYSEXEC.

Any study material or documentation in this regard will be highly appreciated.

From the manual:

When you use a command name that is not a built-in or previously defined primary command, the editor searches the SYSUEXEC, SYSUPROC, ALTLIB, SYSEXEC, and SYSPROC concatenations (for CLISTs and REXX EXECs) for a member with the same name. If it exists, it is assumed to be a macro.


So, you can allocate your PDS to SYSUEXEC, SYSUPROC, SYSEXEC, or SYSPROC, or use the TSO ALTLIB command.

I think most TSO/ISPF users tend to use the TSO ALTLIB command.

Thanks... I think the TSO ALTLIB command is working. But it is not giving my desired output. I think you can help me following the details:

I have created a PDS with the name say ABCD.TEST.CLIST
I have created a member in the PDS called UPPER which contains the below lines.

/* REXX UPPER */
ADDRESS ISREDIT "MACRO PROCESS"
ADDRESS ISREDIT "CHANGE ALL P'<' P'>'"
ADDRESS ISREDIT "CAPS ON"

This macro is supposed to convert all small case alphabets into upper case.

Now I have saved another member in this PDS say XYZ which contains letters in both cases.
Eg: AbCd E f

Now if I write UPPER in the command line in order to invoke my UPPER macro it isn't recognising.

If everything works fine then the desired output should come as
ABCD E F

Hope I am able to explain my problem.

I suggest that you read the REXX reference manual for the correct use of ALTLIB

Show us how you executed the ALTLIB command and show us where in the dataset concatenation your PDS containing the member UPPER is.
