Hi,

I have created a REXX to be run in batch. I have set Return Code for any error. But, irrespective of these return code, when the REXX is run through JCL, it is always giving Return Code as 0. Is there any way so that we the JCL will give return code as set in REXX ?

It should. Could you show how you call your exec in the JCL and how you've coded the exec.

I believe you have to execute it not through IKJEFT01 but one of the other flavours of IKJEFT - 1A perhaps??? You would have to read the manual to find out.

Hi All,

I tried to execute REXX Exec through JCL. In the REXX Exec, i'm doing the reading VSAM file & Writing into Seq. file. When i'm executing the REXX sepeartely, its running fine. When executing thru IEJKTF01, Job has ran sucessfully, but nothing has in O/P File.

Pls advise for me..

Select all

//TMP EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01,DYNAMNBR=30,REGION=4096K
//SYSEXEC DD DSN=MYID.FDJ18.STATUS,DISP=SHR
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=*
//IN DD DSN=MYID.ROR1.FDJ18.CL,DISP=SHR
//OUT DD DSN=MYID.TEST.STATUS.A,DISP=OLD
//SYSTSIN DD *
PROFILE PREFIX(MYID)
%START

REXX ..

Select all

ADDRESS TSO "EXECIO" y.0 "DISKW OUT (FINIS STEM Y."

Hello,

How are you "executing the REXX sepeartely"?

What does a trace show?

By using command EX before the member. Its runs fine & writing O/P in the PS File.

But its not working through JCL. So My doubt is writing the data (in the form of STEM Variables) is possible or not in the Batch.

Hello,

Is this EX in a batch job or an online tso/ispf session?

Is there some reason you have not run a trace of the problem run and posted what this shows (as requested earlier)?

Done correctly, stem variables work in batch.

You show one line of rexx code. You do not show where Y. is being populated. How do you know that the rexx is running OK - IKJEFT01 does not pass on the return code from rexx.

Thanks for all. Its because of wrong stem variables usage. Problem has identified & solved with the help of trace.

Good to hear it is working - thank you for letting us know
