folks,

i know this has been done before and was hoping someone is will to share their code.
im looking for a standard header file that will be the start to all my new rexx code.

what im looking for is a header that has the basic syntax to catch syntax error, not ready conditions and on other thing that will return the line e of code that is having issues.

can anyone help me? please.

Try REXXSKEL from Frank Clarke's web site:
http://web.tampabay.rr.com/mvsrexx/REXX/

Its more a template than just a header file.

I've adopted it for my new code and even refitted some old code
to use it. It might be overkill for you, but it has a lot of
nice features that you may come to appreciate and even rely on.

Don't fail to read "How to REXXSKEL" by the same author. It's a
good overview of the thing.

Love the way Robin's library list web pages look like ISPF.

Mine are generally tailored to the environment, but include stuff such as:
/* REXX - normal comment header removed */
MYPROG_Entry: /* Makes Trace L useful */
numeric digits 10 /* Allows Hex calculations */
signal on SYNTAX name Exit_Syntax /* Trap Syntax errors */
address ISPEXEC /* Maybe TSO or other */

address ISPEXEC "CONTROL NONDISPL END" /* perhaps in batch*/
address TSO "CLEAR" /* maybe */
address ISPEXEC "CONTROL ERRORS RETURN" /* best for ISPF */

global = 'gl. sigl ' /* global vars */
call Init_Globals
call CPU_Timer 'Initialised.'
parse arg method /* Get method only */

/* Call the routine caller asked for */
select
when method = 'HELLO' do
parse arg .,arg1,arg2,etc
say 'Hello World!'
say 'Args were:' arg1 ',' arg2
exit 0
end
otherwise do
say 'Unrecognised method:' method
exit 8
end
end

exit 0

My header comment is handled by an ISPF edit macro.


My Init_globals is generally:
/* --------------------------------------------------------------- */
/** Initialise all global vars with nulls, defaults, etc */
Init_Globals: procedure expose (global)

/* Clear the globals */
gl. = '' /* globals */

/* Save the execName for diagnostics */
parse source . . gl.#execName .

return

My syntax recovery is usually tailored to the environment: This routine
should go near the front of the exec
/* --------------------------------------------------------------- */
/** We have a syntax error. Issue red messages and exit cleanish */
Exit_Syntax:

/* Identify where we went wrong */
failRc = RC
failLine = SIGL
failText = ERRORTEXT(failRc)
failSource = SOURCELINE(failLine)
parse source . callType execName .

say RIGHT(failLine,6) '+++' failSource
say 'Error' failRc 'running' execName,
', line 'failLine': 'failText

exit '8' failText '('execName'/'failLine')'


---------------------------------------------
My edit macro header is:
address ISREDIT

/* Get the parms, if macParms are blank, get them from ISPF var */
"MACRO NOPROCESS (macParms)"
if macParms = '' then
address ISPEXEC "VGET (MACPARMS) SHARED"

signal on syntax name Syntax_Error
"(CSRrow,CSRcol) = CURSOR"
