Hi All,

How do we call utility programs like ISRSUPC and DFSORT from REXX.

I tried using TSO CALL command but couldn't identify the Load dataset for ISRSUPC and SORT program.

Is there anyway to identify the Load dataset name?

Thanks in advance,

Regards,

Thanks.

But when i tried using below code.. the screen goes blank.. I tried tracing the RC and it was -1.
