EXECIO

[Kalinich, John]

You need to allocate the file (ddname) that you want to access with the
following TSO command:

ALLOC F(ddname) DA('name.of.your.file') SHR REUSE

In VM, you specify the file name in the EXECIO command. In TSO, you must
first ALLOCATE the dataset and use the DDname from this allocate in EXECIO
DISKR command. Ex:-
"ALLOC F(INP) DA('filname') SHR"
"EXECIO DISKR * INP(................."

You'll need the TSO Allocate command.

AJ,

Here's a sample REXX I use to copy tasks running on a system in a PDS.

Hope this helps.

Prior to using the EXECIO statement, you must use the TSO ALLOCATE command
to allocate a dataset
to a ddname.

As in:

ALLOCATE SYSIN DA(datasetname) SHR
EXECIO * DISKR SYSIN (FINIS

This was not required in VM REXX.

I am using OS/390 MVS REXX.

I have an input file named INFILE01. It contains names of datasets in it
(which I do a parse var on to get the first field). I then take that dataset and
run a listdsi command on the named dataset.

Here is the problem,
The particular dataset that I am doing a listdsi on is corrupt (and has no
directory, even though it is defined as DSORG=PO).
If the INFILE01 is a DD *, then I will get a function code or 16 (which is what I
expect). But, if INFILE01 is a dataset, then I get a function code of 0, and the
values of the other variables returned by LISTDSI are set to some value (some valid
and some invalid).

Any Answers?

Thanks - Guy
