Hi,

I am new to the REXX programming. I wanted to write a REXX program to expand the copy books in a PDS member when it is opened in view/edit mode. we have many options including EXECIO, Edit-Macro commands, ISPF services and much more.

Please give me a solution with better approach.

Thanks
Madhu

If I had to do this, edit-macro would be my first choice (using either COPY or LINE_AFTER).

Yes, read the copybook and present the records as MSGLINEs using LINE_AFTER. User can convert the msgs to data lines using MD (makedata), if desired or remove them with RESET.

Did you search the forum for COPYBOOK? Seems like this has been covered before???

Thanks for your response. As I told you I am very new to REXX. If you can give me complete REXX program with possible explanation it will be great.

I could not go ahead with the above explanations.

I am reading manuals and the topics available on this board also to accomplish this task.

Thanks
Madhu

Sure I can write you the REXX. The cost is $80 per work hour + tax.

Let me know if you want it.

madhuroyus,

If you are really serious about paying the money then provide Mr.ofer the specifications. Remember that a Minimum of 2 hours of pay and maximum of 8 hours pay will be taken from you. So why don't you send me a chek for $160 dollars and I will secure that as deposit and once ofer gives the solution I will pass it over to him and you need to pay the rest upon delivery.

Thats nice Mr.Kolusu. But how can I believe this deal? Did ofer has any brand name assosicated with him? Any successfull deals like this in the past?

Build confidentiality abt the delivery solutions you provided, then hope for the best.

Hope this makes clear abt the deal.

Thanks
Madhu

I tried this as an exercise (well I am bored and in between projects this week!).
I did it in about 70 lines and it didn't take me long perhaps because I wrote my first ISPF dialog in 1980 and I've been using TSO/ISPF off+on ever since.
To write this sort of EditMacro Rexx is just the starting material - it's easy to learn the basics in a day or two.
The hard bit is learning what you can do with TSO/ISPF:

• TSO Commands
  
• EditMacros
  
• Dialog Management Services
  
• Services
  
• ... need I go on ...
  

Each of these has at least one manual - well worth reading cover-cover.

I work in IBM and I, like many others, provide solutions for dollars (or sometimes krona in my case).
I have also given a lot of complete solutions as examples when I have the time - like just now.
But for you to learn how to do these things you have to first read! and then (most importantly) play!.
Then you really start to understand how things work.

As it's Friday and I'm going home soon (and I'm such a nice guy! ) here is COPYLITE...
