hi,
i have a requirement to invoke filemaster plus in my rexx program to browse a PS in edit mode.could anyone tell me how to do that

The manual or the product, or the support people from the company producing it. Perhaps your support people.

First, see if whatever can actually be invoked via Rexx. Check the manual which your site will have at least one copy of somewhere. But...why use that when you can use ISPF browse or view or edit?

Can you invoke it from the ISPF command line?

Because when i have to change the input fields value often in the run jcl, i need to give start 1.f.instead of that i want a rexx macro to open the input file in edit mode by invoking filemaster plus when my cursor position points to the input file.

in the following link,they have invoked filemaster plus in browse mode using rexx,but i dont understand how it is done exactly

How do you know it was using Rexx? It is just a command and could have been written in any of the ISPF aware languages and could well have been supplied by the publishers of Filemaster

ok thank you nic.

Hi
i am able to invoke the panel of filemaster plus in edit mode using rexx.but could anyone tell me how to invoke the load module of filemaster plus using rexx?

Hello,

What have you tried? What happens?

Posting a trace of the rexx you tried may help.
