Hi,
Problem description:
I use Rexx to create one a member, member was created successfully. but there is no other info except member name . I expect to see user id, create date info adhere with the new member.
There are two members, in my PDS as below. (using - to keeping the format good. ignore - when you read.)
Name-----------Prompt--Size--Created--------Changed----------------------ID
TSTREXX-------------------15---2010/09/08---2011/08/24 23:02:36---USR012
BC6557C--------------------------------------------------------------------------------> there is no other info except name, i want at least have ID and created date .

First TSTREXX is created by ISPF 3.2
BC6557C is created follwing REXX code.
/* create new member */
PARSE UPPER ARG NMEM
DEST = PDSNAM || "(" || NMEM || ")"
ADDRESS TSO "ALLOC F(OUT) DS('"DEST"') SHR"

Question:
I want make the other info(ID, Created date) for BC6557C when rexx creating it. I checked the TSO command reference, got no help.
How to do it?

Thanks.

Look for the LMMSTATS service

Great! This command works. Thanks.

Well, It works when I run rexx with tso command --> TSO EXEC rexmem
But it dosen't work when I run rexmem via JCL. RC(-3)
Does any one know the reason? BTW, what is DATAID?
here is rexx code


Here is the log:
READY
LMMSTATS
12 *-* "LMINIT DATAID("OUT") DATASET('"PDSNAM"') ENQ(SHR)"

13 *-* "LMOPEN DATAID("OUT")"

14 *-* "LMMSTATS DATAID("OUT") MEMBER("NMEM"),USER("USERID()")"
+++ RC(-3) +++
16 *-* "LMFREE DATAID("OUT")"
+++ RC(-3) +++
READY

LMMSTATS and it's siblings only work under ISPF. Run your REXX under ISPF in batch.

DATAID is just an ID assigned by the system and your usage of it is wrong, the dataid on the LMINIT must be unquoted, unless OUT is unitialized (or dropped), as in

I would guess that you've failed to start ISPF in your job, and have failed to provide DD statements for all of the necessary ISPF libraries. You might want to review ISPF services in batch mode.

I look at it as a sort of file handle.

Why not use the code button? It saves you the hassle of trying to line things up manually (usually unsuccessfully!). You may need to click on 'Full Editor' if you are using 'Quick Reply'
