easytrieve MACROS

This is a sample program using EZT MACRO.
I know few things in EZT but don't know how to use EZT macros.

I created a member with name PERSNL (as MACRO name is %PERSNL ) in the same PDS where above JCL resides.
The contents of PERSNL member are

IN1-NAME   07  10  A  HEADING('EMPLOYEE' 'NAME')       



Obv. Job failed with msg '*******B006 MACRO SYSTEM - PDS , ERROR IN MACRO FILE'.
What should be added/changed in/from the JCL so that MACRO PERSNL can be used?

Hello,

The first statement in an easytrieve macro should be MACRO. . .
Hope this helps,

Hello,

You also need to name the dataset containing the macro(s)in the jcl.

You may need to talk with your tech support people to learn the ddname - it varies from site to site. You could try a ddname of PANDD or PANDD1 - i've seen these at several insallations.
Hope this helps,
d.sch.

How can I define MACROs in VSAM file.What changes are required in JCL?
Take same example shown above:
Select all
IN1-KEY    01  04  A  HEADING('EMPLOYEE' 'NUMBER')     
IN1-NAME   07  10  A  HEADING('EMPLOYEE' 'NAME')       

How to put this code in VSAM file ...What should be the structure,type,key of VSAM file?
What should be done to let JCL know that MAcro is in VSAM file (~ PANDD)?

Does anybody have any exmaple explaining use of Macros defined in VSAM file?

Hello,

Macros are not defined in vsam files - they are defined as ezt source.

If you clarify what you want to do/know, someone may be able to help.
Hope this helps,

Am referring to User Guide 6.3
Storing Macros
Macro statements are stored and maintained in a macro library. The MACRO
entry in the CA-Easytrieve Plus options table (see the “Option Tables” appendix
of the CA-Easytrieve Plus Reference Guide) specifies the macro library storage
access method. The types of access methods are:
Term Description
PAN Macros stored in a CA-Panvalet library and maintained through
CA-Panvalet utilities.
PDS (OS/390 only) Macros stored in a partitioned data set.
SSL (VSE only) Macros stored in a VSE Source Statement Library. SSLs are
maintained by using a variety of VSE utilities.
USER Any user-supplied library facility that you can use for the macro library.
VSAM A specially formatted VSAM data set that you can use as the macro
library. Macros are maintained using a special CA-Easytrieve Plus
program.
END OF SECOND READING
Please turn to the “Programming Techniques” chapter.


VSAM A specially formatted VSAM data set that you can use as the macro
library. Macros are maintained using a special CA-Easytrieve Plus
program.

Hello,

You already have a macro library - is your PANDD not a pds?. You do not need another.

Also, FWIW, ezt release 6.3 is no longer a supported product.
Hope this helps,
