why result is not returning to main module?

Postby SKANDA » Mon Jan 23, 2017 3:11 pm

Hi all,

Kindly help me to get the solution for the following code,

 nextfile = xyz.abc.def(mem1)
  nextfile ="'"nextfile"'"
  "alloc dd(file1) da("nextfile") shr reuse"
   "newstack"  
   call modul nextfile

modul --> name of a rexx pgm called from the main module
while executing result from the modul is retured as zero.i don't know why the pgm is not processing the nextfile..please help me to fix it.

inside the modul pgm nextfile is displayed as,
nextfile = 'xyz.abc.def(mem1)'

hi all,

sorry ,I have misunderstood that the nextfile is not read by the program ..but it is reading,
the result is not returned to the main module..
What may be the err?

Thanks all,

And we're all psychics who can see what you're doing in "modul".

FFS, stop wasting our time by asking questions that can be answered by simply RTFM, or cannot be answered because you do not give all the info required!

Show us the trace from both modules.

Use the code tags when posting code/data.

Why not, simply:
nextfile = "'"data.set.name"'"

rather than the 2-step method that you show?
The problem I have is that people can explain things quickly but I can only comprehend slowly.

Hi all,

Here is the trace for the code,

 
       535 *-*       "newstack"
       >>>             "newstack"
       536  *-*        call modul nextfile
      >>>           "xyz.abc.def(mem1)"
      1  +++  ?
       Error running modul, line1: Invalid character in program
        536 +++    call modul nextfile
      Error running Main1, line 536: Incorrect call to routine
     


I have used HEX ON option to find out the junk values..but in modul as well main1 there is no such character..
even though it says as invalid character in the modul

in the modul first line is the commented line.(/*rexx modul*/)

Anyone help me to fix this err.

Many Thanks,
Skanda

instead of hex on, try F P'.' in modul member.

ok, then I suggest
1. verify that there is no other 'MODUL' in your SYSPROC / SYSEXEC concatenations. You could also change the name to something else more likely to be unique, i.e. MODUL789.
2. change the call to "%MODUL" nextfile to make sure that you execute the REXX and not a program.

If you still have the problem, then post the first 2 lines with hex on.
