REXX QUEUE variable ignored

Postby cvcv » Wed Sep 07, 2016 8:56 pm

Hello, using REXX, I'm trying to generate and submit dynamic JCLs.

To test this out, I've created code to loop through my input, and then, generate and submit jobs.

The jobs get submitted properly, but they don't get generated properly when I display the values of LINE.I

This is the REXX code i'm using:

    SAY 'START OF REXX CODE.'

    "EXECIO * DISKR MYDATA (STEM LINE. FINIS"

    THIS_IS_A_VALUE1 = "VALUE #1"
    THIS_IS_A_VALUE2 = "VALUE #2"

    TRACE 'R'
    DO I = 1 TO LINE.0

        PARSE VAR LINE.I

        SAY "VALUE OF LINE.I : " LINE.I

        THIS_IS_A_VALUE3 = LINE.I

        QUEUE "//TESTA JOB 00000,'TEST',"
        QUEUE "//            CLASS=T,"
        QUEUE "//            MSGCLASS=X,"
        QUEUE "//            MSGLEVEL=(1,1),"
        QUEUE "//            USER=000000"
        QUEUE "//* THIS IS A VALUE#1  : " THIS_IS_A_VALUE1
        QUEUE "//* THIS IS A VALUE#2  : " THIS_IS_A_VALUE2
        QUEUE "//* THIS IS A VALUE#3  : " THIS_IS_A_VALUE3
        QUEUE "//STEP1 EXEC PGM=IEFBR14"
        QUEUE "//DD1 DD DUMMY"
        QUEUE "/*"
        QUEUE "$$"
        O = OUTTRAP("OUTPUT.",,"CONCAT")
        "SUBMIT * END($$)"
        O = OUTTRAP(OFF)
    END

    SAY 'END OF REXX CODE.'


This is the output of the submitted REXX code.. notice the missing " at the end of line 32, where I'm trying to show the value of LINE.I (through variable THIS_IS_A_VALUE3)


    START OF REXX CODE.
    16 *-* DO I = 1 TO LINE.0
    >>>   "1"
    >>>   "3"
    18 *-*  PARSE VAR LINE.I
    20 *-*  SAY "VALUE OF LINE.I : " LINE.I
    >>>    "VALUE OF LINE.I :  HELLO#1
    VALUE OF LINE.I :  HELLO#1
    22 *-*  THIS_IS_A_VALUE3 = LINE.I
    >>>    "
HELLO#1
    24 *-*  QUEUE "//TESTA JOB 00000,'TEST',"
    >>>    "//TESTA JOB 00000,'TEST',"
    25 *-*  QUEUE "//            CLASS=T,"
    >>>    "//            CLASS=T,"
    26 *-*  QUEUE "//            MSGCLASS=X,"
    >>>    "//            MSGCLASS=X,"
    27 *-*  QUEUE "//            MSGLEVEL=(1,1),"
    >>>    "//            MSGLEVEL=(1,1),"
    28 *-*  QUEUE "//            USER=000000"
    >>>    "//            USER=000000"
    30 *-*  QUEUE "//* THIS IS A VALUE#1  : " THIS_IS_A_VALUE1
    >>>    "//* THIS IS A VALUE#1  :  VALUE #1"
    31 *-*  QUEUE "//* THIS IS A VALUE#2  : " THIS_IS_A_VALUE2
    >>>    "//* THIS IS A VALUE#2  :  VALUE #2"
    32 *-*  QUEUE "//* THIS IS A VALUE#3  : " THIS_IS_A_VALUE3
    >>>    "//* THIS IS A VALUE#3  :  HELLO#1


This is an example of one of the generated JCLs:

    //TESTA JOB 00000,'TEST',
    //            CLASS=T,
    //            MSGCLASS=X,
    //            MSGLEVEL=(1,1),
    //            USER=000000
    //* THIS IS A VALUE#1  :  VALUE #1
    //* THIS IS A VALUE#2  :  VALUE #2
        ---> missing line here, should display this line --->//* THIS IS A VALUE#3  :  HELLO#1
    //STEP1 EXEC PGM=IEFBR14
    //DD1 DD DUMMY
    /*


Any ideas of how I can display the value of LINE.I?

Thanks

Show us a few lines of your input file.

Here's my input

********************************* Top of Data **********************************
HELLO#1
HELLO#2

notice the missing " at the end of line 32,

Probably your data records are too wide to show the end of the string. You should strip off the trailing blanks.

I tried this:
/* rexx */                                        
    SAY 'START OF REXX CODE.'                    
                                                 
 /* "EXECIO * DISKR MYDATA (STEM LINE. FINIS" */  
 line.1 = 'HELLO#1'|| copies(' ',500)            
 line.0 = 1                                      
<remainder the same as yours>                                                  
 

and I get the same result as you (a missing line)

Thanks, it worked with

THIS_IS_A_VALUE3    = STRIP(LINE.I)


and

QUEUE "//* THIS IS A VALUE#3    : "||THIS_IS_A_VALUE3||"    "

I do not think you need to add trailing blanks in the QUEUE statement. It should work without them.
