Hi All,

I am trying to invoke a Panel from a Panel. Here is the syntax how I am calling it.

ZSEL = TRANS (TRUNC(&ZCMD,'_')
1,'PANEL(COMPILE)'
X,EXIT)

I have a Main menu which is the first panel. From the first panel if, I give option 1 panel by name COMPILe should be invoked. But its never coming.

I know we can display the second panel using Rexx. But want to know why the above option is not working.

Awaiting for all your replies.

Thanks,
Jyotsna

Hi Kolusu,

May be I have not put my question properly. Got to know from ISPF ONLINE LIBRARY book that there is way to invoke a Panel from Panel. And the syntax of that command is given in the first posting. For that particular syntax, do we need to do any changes in the Rexx program also.

Hope I conveyed the question properly.

Thanks,
Jyotsna

I can find no evidence that a panel display can be launched by another panel. The logic for "ZSEL = TRANS (TRUNC..." will create a variable zsel that contains the value "1,'PANEL(COMPILE)'". I could not find eveidence that this is actually supposed to launch the indicated panel.

It should be &ZSEL not just ZSEL.

Try changing your code to the following:

&ZSEL = TRANS (TRUNC(&ZCMD,'.')
1,'PANEL(COMPILE)'
X,'EXIT')
