Dear all,

I need suggestions for running a rexx code in batch mode. The TSO allocation space for my logon id is quiet small (4M) and i don't have access to change the Region parameter in the JCL beyond some limit(6M) as it is protected by some exits. But, I have an option of coding the IEFPROC DD statement. But, My doubt is if I run the rexx with IEFPROC DD will it be overriden by defaults i.e., my TSO Region space ? Hope I'm clear. Apologize if my thoughts are wrong. Any suggestions/advice would be helpful!!

Regards,
Viswa

You seem to be confusing background Rexx with a started task. Have you considered simply using the Rexx interpreter IRXJCL?

I need suggestions for running a rexx code in batch mode.

I do not remember of any limitations in the region parameter for batch execution of the TMP

what happened when You tried to run a BATCH TSO using one of the jcl samples posted here ???

Hi Enrico,

I have not tried running this particular Snipet in Batch mode. But when it is executed in TSO (under my TSO Session) its getting with an Error "Machine storage Exhausted". So I came to a conclusion that this fails because the TSO(My TSO session) Region space is exhausted(4M) and so thought of running this in Batch mode.

Hi Akatsukami,

No, I have not tried this way. Because, I believe it won't work for exec's that invokes ISPF Services inside.

unfortunately Your conclusion is wrong ... Your snippet fails because the design is flawed

until You post the snippet You are trying to run, any suggestion will be based on wild guessing.

at first guess You are using ..

Select all

EXECIO * DISKR... (STEM ...

on a large file ..
and using EXECIO in such a way is prone to give the exhausted storage message
or You are creating stems with an inconsiderate large number of <entries>
no region parameter, will guarantee a successful execution in the above cases

Hi Enrico,

This is the snipet I'm using.

Select all

ADDRESS SDSF "ISFLOG READ TYPE(SYSLOG)"
MAIN:
DO IX=1 TO ISFLINE.0
"EXECIO * DISKW ISFOUT (STEM ISFLINE. FINIS"
CALL FINAL
END
FINAL:
IF ISFLINE.IX = ISFLINE.0 THEN
NOP
CALL RESULT0
END
ELSE CALL MAIN

I would say that the number of lines of the ISFLOG dataset is <too> large
there are too many ways to limit the storage that can be acquired by Your process
and in any case even if the limit is raised there is always a possibility that it could be hit again
better redesign the process

and SPEAK TO YOUR SUPPORT, they know what limits have been put in place

another consideration ...
the snippet You posted is completely unintelligible

the way it is written it will rewrite the ISFLOG repeated for the numbers of lines :geek:

Hi Enrico,

Mr. Enrico Wrote: there are too many ways to limit the storage that can be acquired by Your process

--- Any clues or suggestions please

Mr. Enrico Wrote: better redesign the process

--- I'm not sure what is the story behind this valuable line. Still let me search.

Mr. Enrico Wrote: SPEAK TO YOUR SUPPORT, they know what limits have been put in place

-- Do you mean by the batch TSO region limit. If yes I have already spoken. The limit set is 6M. Please advice.

it is not a story ( tale ) it is a FACT whether You like it or not :evil:

if there is a limit carved in stone on the amount of storage that can be allocated
and You get the exhausted storage message ther is nothing You can do
You will have to review the design AMEN

Hi Enrico,

Thanks for your time. I'm extremely sorry. I didn't mean it as a tale. (I meant the truth hidden).

.

I do have a check here

Select all

IF ISFLINE.IX = ISFLINE.0 THEN
NOP
CALL RESULT0

This will prevent from infinite loops. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
