A Program will copy the JCL from One PDS to Another. After copying that JCL, want to change some parameters Like JOB card , JCLLIB and other parameters . Copy of Jcl is successful .Then tried to change the JOBCARD:

ISREDIT LOCATE .ZF
ISREDIT CHANGE ' JOB (*,*),'&USERID',MSGCLASS=X,CLASS=*, ' 9 55
ISREDIT LOCATE .ZF
ISREDIT CHANGE ' COND=(0,NE),NOTIFY=&SYSUID ' 9 55

this is showing an ERROR - 28

You have to issue an EDIT or VIEW service (with the MACRO keyword) first, then use your code within the macro.

What you have shown is not REXX code, but ISPF edit code.

The usual way to do this is to issue the edit command for the dataset and then specify the macro that you will use to effect the changes.

"ISPEXEC EDIT DATASET('dataset name') MACRO(mac name)"

Where the macro name is a member concatenated into your SYSEXEC or SYSPROC DD, or added vial ALTLIB.

Your CHANGE commands show a "from" value but no "to" value???

Also, check the syntax for changing a string containing single quotes!

Hi..
i dont know actually how to start up with the program. Zero idea regarding REXX. So only asked the code, which will be easy for me to analyse which will enhance my tool creation.

HI.

Actually i tried with the change command..

But, it is is showing the error, too many parameters..

The change command is accepting only 20 characters...

I tried to change the entire job card too by passing the values through the variables, but it is in vain, showing the same error...

Can anyone help me how to change the entire job card?

Just curious,
what is the relation between shalinikota and altsmp,

they are both asking things in the same thread,
is this a case of a double personality, or just bad netiquette ( stepping in without reason in somebody else thread )

Post your macro here - it is showing error hardly enlightrens us
in fact that piece of information is about as useful as a chocolate teapot.

Unless we know what you are doing we can not possibly help you.

Also echo the interest of enrico - two people or two ids ?
