 Posted: Tue Apr 11, 2006 4:14 pm Post subject: Use ISPF services to sort a file from a REXX |
 |
|
I have a very small file that is built from data entry via an ISPF panel. I would like to resulting file to be sorted.
I am wondering there would be an easy way to invoke an EDIT macro to issue the ISPF sort command, and then save the file.

dtf,
Check this link which might be of help
http://web.tampabay.rr.com/mvsrexx/REXX/tblsort.txt
In case you have trouble accessing the link then this is the code
| Code: |
PROC 0
/* --------------------------------------------------------------------
/*
/* Sort an ISPF table. This task is done in a CLIST because REXX
/* incurs substantial overhead for ISPF table sorting due to it trying
/* to store each row-variable for each row it must handle. This is
/* architecturally a part of REXX's method and cannot be overcome,
/* therefore, table sorts should be handled by CLISTs.
/*
/* The table should be open before calling this routine.
/*
/* --------------------------------------------------------------------
ERROR DO
SET &LASTCC = &RC
RETURN
END
ISPEXEC VGET ($TN$ SORTSEQ DEBUG) SHARED
IF &DEBUG = DEBUG THEN CONTROL MSG SYMLIST CONLIST LIST
ELSE CONTROL NOMSG NOSYMLIST NOCONLIST NOLIST
ISPEXEC TBSORT &$TN$ FIELDS(&SORTSEQ)
IF &LASTCC NE 0 THEN DO
&ZERRSM = &STR(TBSORT ERROR)
&ZERRLM = &STR(TBSORT DELIVERED RC=&LASTCC FOR SORTSPEC +
&SORTSEQ)
&ZERRALRM = YES
&ZERRHM = ISR00000
ISPEXEC SETMSG MSG(ISRZ002)
END
|
Hope this helps...
Cheers

Thanks for your response. What I a am wondering though is if it is possible to just invoke an EDIT macro or someting, and
Edit the dataset
enter the command "SORT"
exit the dataset
