Now the questions:
1. Do we have to allocate the libraries ourselves or does the above code do the allocations (I tried both and still got some prob)
2. What about the libraries like ISP.SISPEXEC? Who allocates them? What does it contain?
3. I do know that other users are creating panels on that machine as i have seen their datasets such as userid.private.* (and im not able to determine the user from the userid, or would have asked him/her first)
Any Suggestions??? _________________ Thanks & Regards,

Looks like the last post by Mike in "Rexx code help" answered something similar to what i asked in a different way.... ill try that tomorrow...but any answers to the above questions? _________________ Thanks & Regards,

Ok Manojagrawal,
1) The code mentioned is only giving you an idea of what is required, it is unlikely to work at the majority of sites (well at least the ones that I have worked at).
2) Baically what generally happens is that the systems programmers create the system ISPF and clist and Rexx libraries (probably others as well for various other products that use ISPF services). The sysprogs also create logon procs, which allocate datasets. The problem is these logon procs are site dependent, some allow automatic inclusion of user libraries (the most ISPF devloper freindly way), some may creat logon procs that do not allow and easy path to the inclusion of user libraries, some may also go to the extent of making it impossible to have your own libraries allocated. Sorry if this is a little vague but there are so many scenarios.
3) You could try having a chat with your sysprogs, they should know how your site has been setup to work.
There are also other possibilies such as using LIBDEF's that would allow you to add libraries to the allocations. I would say that it would be best to speak to your sysprogs first, if they have include a logon proc that caters for user defined librray allocations then that's they way to go. The next best option, again in my opinion, would be to use something that re-allocates the files before ISPF is entered, like the program I supplied. The worst option, again in my opinion, would be to use LIBDEF's to redefine the allocations.
Hope this helps, sorry that it doesn't really offer any concrete solution. _________________ Regards,
