Need to create PDS member and write the lines in each member

Postby arya_starc » Sat Mar 16, 2019 10:07 pm

Hi All,

I am writing a rexx in which new member is allocated and in each member I am writing few line of code, all this had been done in single rexx.
Issue that I am facing first member lines are being override in consecutive member, Below is the code:-

Select all

/* REXX */
PDS = "XYZ.TEST.IN"
PDS4 = "ABC.TEST.OUT"
pds1 = pds || "("||MAINPROC||")"
"ALLOC FI(PDS1) DA('"PDS1"') SHR REUSE"
"EXECIO * DISKR PDS1 (STEM PROC1. FINIS"
"FREE FI(PDS1)"
SAY 'ENTER NUMBER OF MEMBER'
PULL NOM
DO P=1 TO NOM
      SAY 'ENTER MEMBER NAME'
      PULL  NEWMWMB
      SAY 'ENTER LINES TO BE COPIED'
      PULL LINE
      pds2 = pds4 || "("||newmemb||")"
      "ALLOC FI(PDS2) DA('"PDS2"') SHR REUSE"
DO J=1 TO LINE
     PROCO.J = PROC1.J
     "execio * diskw pds2(stem proco.finis")
END
END
EXIT
 


This issue somewhere related to while allocation of new member.Kindly help me on this.
Thanks in advacnce.

Add "trace ?r" to your code and execute it step by step!

Hi Prino

I tried with "trace ?r" but I can see that loop is running correctly but whwn I see the output in member the number of lines in each member is incorrectly.
Please advise on that.

Why are you closing pds2 after EVERY write? Why are you creating a stem but only writing one line at a time? I could go on but...
The problem I have is that people can explain things quickly but I can only comprehend slowly.

since You write only the first <line> lines

instead of
Select all
DO J=1 TO LINE
     PROCO.J = PROC1.J
     "execio * diskw pds2(stem proco.finis")
END
 


use
Select all
"execio" line "diskw pds2 (stem proc1. finis "

Is MAINPROC the name of the input memer, you are using it as a ariable?
Does the input member contain null lines? That will cause EXECIO * DISKW to stop. Always use a number instead of the asterix in DISKW.
