Hi,

How can I view and update ISPF profile tables using REXX.

I am developing a REXX tool, where I need to use File-AID ISPF profile table to view and update.

Thanks.

Use ISPF table services to process the table. Read the ISPF Services manual for the following topics:

I was trying to open ISPF tables using 3.16 option. Instead of opening table, its showing as below.

Select all

__*** Extension variables only ***

It was working fine for the table which I create in my PDS.

Can someone explain why ISPF table is not opening.

Thanks.

Not without seeing your entire table-handling code.

This is a help forum, not a 'do it for me' forum.

You can get sample code by using the editor. Issue this command:

Select all

MODEL TBOPEN

Perhaps the table only has extension variables only! You can still type an E in the input field to see the extension variables.

Hi Pedro,

I can see extension variables. Can I edit/change these variables using REXX.

Thanks.

Yes.
