Getting dataset name

[MrSpock]

Hi,
Can anyone help me in this regards.

Are you going to post the output from your TRACE like I asked for earlier?

Hi,
This is the output I get, when I execute the above code.


MEM

[MrSpock]

This is my macro code:

Code: Select all

/* REXX */                     
TRACE I                         
ADDRESS ISREDIT                 
"ISREDIT MACRO"                 
"ISREDIT (MEM) = DATASET"       
SAY MEM                         


This is the output when it runs:

Code: Select all

     3 *-* ADDRESS ISREDIT                   
     4 *-* "ISREDIT MACRO"                   
       >L>   "ISREDIT MACRO"                 
     5 *-* "ISREDIT (MEM) = DATASET"         
       >L>   "ISREDIT (MEM) = DATASET"       
     6 *-* SAY MEM                           
       >V>   "MRSPOCK.REXX"                   
MRSPOCK.REXX                                 
***

Hi,
This is the trace obtained, when I executed the code. Return code of 20 is encountered.

Code: Select all

      3 *-* ADDRESS ISREDIT
      4 *-* "ISREDIT MACRO"
        >L>   "ISREDIT MACRO"
        +++ RC(20) +++
      5 *-* "ISREDIT (MEM) = DATASET"
        >L>   "ISREDIT (MEM) = DATASET"
        +++ RC(20) +++
      6 *-* SAY MEM
        >L>   "MEM"
 MEM

Start with /* REXX */
ISREDIT MACRO must be the 1st statement in the macro, so remove the ADDRESS ISREDIT.

After 15 posts, we're finally getting to where we should've been from the first post. The RC=20 is indicative of a major failure.

The only things I can think of:

1. ISPF is not active or not available.
2. The macro is not being called from an ISPF EDIT/VIEW session.

Jeri Kattar, I think it's time for you to get in touch with your System Admin team and have them look into this issue. There isn't, and hasn't, been anything wrong with your code.

Hwello,

Have you run with trace?

The output from a trace may help.
