Hi arya_starc,
you left out the percentage sign in the parm field: PARM='%LISTDS'. Without that, TSO executes the program LISTDS, not your REXX, as I explained earlier.

thanks a lot Willy.
One more question, if i need to pass more than one dataset then same syntax will be used or different?
Since, that dataset I am allocating in the rexx but I need to pass that datset thru JCL.

the combination
cc=Listdsi('ddname FILE')
dsn="'"sysdsname"'"
can be used any number of times. I strongly suggest that you look up the LISTDSI function in the REXX manual for details.

You probably meant something else, but your rexx sample did not do any 'allocate's. Your JCL has already allocated the data set.

As I am used two dataset in rexx and oth dataset I am calling via JCL by using cc=Listdsi('ddname FILE') combination.
But mine JCL is executed with MAX CC 0 but I am not getting the data population in the output file.
below is my rexx code
000100 /*REXX*/
000200 ADDRESS TSO
000300 CC = Listdsi('FILEI FILE')
000400 CC = Listdsi('FILEO FILE')
000500 FILEI="'"SYSDSNAME"'"
000600 FILEO="'"SYSDSNAME"'"
000700 SAY HI
000800 SAY FILEI
000900 "LISTDS" FILEI "MEMBERS"
001000 WRT = 1
001100 X = OUTTRAP(MEMBERS.)
001200 "LISTDS" FILEI "MEMBERS"
001300 X = OUTTRAP(OFF)
001400 DO I=7 TO MEMBERS.0
001500 X = STRIP(MEMBERS.I)
001600 FILEO.WRT = X
001700 WRT = WRT + 1
001800 END
001900 WRT = WRT - 1
002000 OUT.0 = WRT
002100 FILEO = OUT.0
002200 OU1 = fileo
002300 "EXECIO "OUT.0" DISKW OU (STEM OUT. FINIS"
002400 "FREE F(OU)"
002500 SAY "MEMBERS SUCCESSFULLY WRITE"
002600 EXIT
This rexx taking input pds member and copy all the member into one sequential dataset.
Note:- The pds dataset and sequential dataset I am passing thru the JCL.

Please read the documentation for the LISTDSI function. Each call to LISTDSI sets the SYSDSNAME variable, so you must assign that to another variable before using LISTDSI again. Also you should check the success of the LISTDSI function (in my sample the 'cc' variable).

Hi Willy,
Thanks for guiding.
Now first I assign the cc variable to DSN then I use another Listdsi function.
But now I am getting issue in populating the dataset.
Below is my rexx code

000300 CC = Listdsi('FILEI FILE')
000500 FILEI="'"SYSDSNAME"'"
000510 CC1 = Listdsi('FILEO FILE')
000600 FILEO="'"SYSDSNAME"'"
001000 WRT = 1
001100 X = OUTTRAP(MEMBERS.)
001200 "LISTDS" FILEI "MEMBERS"
001300 X = OUTTRAP(OFF)
001400 DO I=7 TO MEMBERS.0
001500 X = STRIP(MEMBERS.I)
001510 SAY X
001600 OUT.WRT = X
001610 SAY OUT.WRT
001700 WRT = WRT + 1
001800 END
001900 WRT = WRT - 1
002000 OUT.0 = WRT
002100 FILEO = OUT.0
002110 DISKW OU STEM OUT. FINIS
002500 SAY "MEMBERS SUCCESSFULLY WRITE"
002600 EXIT

But in the dataset nothing data is populated.

Re: CallinG REXX thru JCL

You are not doing anything with the sysdsname for FILEO. As I read your program, you want to write the list on members in ddname FILEI to ddname FILEO and for that you don't need the FILEO sysdsname. You don't see anything in FILEO, because the statement 'DISKW OU STEM OUT. FINIS' is missing the EXECIO command at the front. Apart from that, the syntax is wrong, please refer to the manual for details of EXECIO.
And you really should check return codes, i.e. from EXECIO, before you put out a 'success' message.

You should also provide your trace output.
The problem I have is that people can explain things quickly but I can only comprehend slowly.

Thanks Willy, I got the desired output by using correct syntax.
How can i check return code before any line.This i didn't get, could you please tell me more.
