When I try to run my REXX exec on READY command it gives the below erro message.

READY exec

ENTER DATA SET NAME - exec(r0807c)

DATA SET userid.EXEC.CLIST NOT IN CATALOG OR CATALOG CAN NOT BE ACCESSED
READY

My dataset name is userid.exec and r0807c is a member in it which I want to run. Can anybody tell me why it is talking it as a CLIST program and not as REXX one ?

When you give exec(member), it executes userid.exec.clist(member).

Either change your pds to userid.exec.clist or against the dateset give full name in quotes - 'userid.exec(member)'

Is there any way to make my own dataset as active one. I mean instead of looking into userid.exec.clist, it starts searching in userid.exec only ?

[Nancy]

I've got the solution now. TSO ALTLIB command is the one I was looking for.
I just executed TSO ALTLIB DATASET('USERID.PDS.EXEC') command and now I can execute my rexx by just typing TSO r0807b on the command line.

You should look into your site standards. Very often a user or private clist is automatically used when it has the right dataset name (I made it so in our shop).
