Pass a varaible to a rexx program

Postby Viswanathchandru » Thu May 24, 2012 3:58 pm

Dear all,

I'm trying to pass a varaible to a rexx program through a rexx program. I tried in this way but i'm not able to get that variable.

/* rexx*/
   pull date
  date1 = substr(date,1,2)
call result 'date1'
where result is another rexx code that is present in the same PDS as the previous one and that looks this way.
/* rexx */
   say date1
. Here as said, i'm not able to get the date1 variable. Please guide me.

Regards,
Viswa

First, give your thread a meaningful title.

Second, of course you can't get the DATE1 variable like that; enclosing it in quotes (single or double) makes it a literal.

Third, I don't see that the RESULT script is parsing any arguments. Naturally, it won't use any, no matter how many you call it with.
