When you are in Edit/Browse/View mode of a PDS, ISPF displays a list of members of the PDS. If I issue a Rexx command on the command line during such a display of members, can I get the PDS name in the Rexx.
Thanks

I think I was not clear in my requirements. Issue 3.4 and we get a list of datasets. I type 'M' against a library. I am in member list. On the command line I want to execute a Rexx program that searches this list (just like SRCHFOR command). I need to get the library name. How can I get it?

Thanks Kolusu

I'm also confused; the name of the library of the member list you're looking at is at the top of the panel, isn't it? Question

You want to pick up the current PDS name within the REXX you call from the command line?

Many thanks. This is what I was looking for.

Glad to hear you got it working. I believe it would be beneficial for others if you post the skeleton of the code you used (if it does not get too much site specific).

You might want to do this a little differently because if the user has PANELID, SYSNAME, or a few other things turned on, I think the word DSLIST won't be there.
