Could you please explain what you want to do.

Do you want the REXX code to display the dataset / member info when it runs. or do you want a function to display what is already displayed at the top of your screen.

at what time... if You care to explain

when You are editing a rexx You are just doing that and the library/member info is available at the top of the edit panel

at run time the PARSE SOURCE will tell You the member name and IIRC the dname where the member came from

it' s up to You to locate in the dd concatenation the right library and dsplay it accordingly

If i run my rexx program. It has to display the Dataset/Member info where my source code actually exist. For example my rexx program P1 is in the dataset TEMP.PROG.REXX. After running the program P1 it has to display like 'Program P1 is located in TEMP.PROG.REXX dataset'. I guess i have provided enough information. :-)

The person asking the question cannot make this determination. It is the people answering the question who decide when enough informaton has been provided for the question to be answered icon_wink.gif

You can use ISREDIT macro
address ispexec
"isredit(dsnname)=dataset"
"isredit(memname)=member"

When the poster was asked for clarification, he said it was during run time, not during editing of the program.
