How do i find the source code of the macro which i have executed? The macro which i have used is a common macro for all the users in my workshop and I knew its location been put in my CList libraries. But my clist contains hell lot of libs which i can't chk in one by one.. is thr any way to chk from which lib this particular macro has been called?

Hello and welcome to the forum,

When in a tso/ispf session, try TSO ISRDDN and then specify M for member and the member name you are looking for. Sometimes ISRDDN is a restricted command in which case you'll need to talk with your system support people.

Thanks for a quick reply.. and nice tip.. but still it is not working for my macro...says 'member not found'. In our shop we use CA's jclchk tool for jcl syntax checks.. and we give "!JCK" on command line in while editing the JCL to disply the errors. and I would like to know what exactly happens when this commnd executes... ?

Thanks,
Samrat.

Maybe the library gets allocated when you invoke the JCL checker, you will need to find and trace the higher REXX code.

Also be aware that the code may call a program rather than a macro

How do I find out that higher code. The only stuff that I have is that "!jck" , my clist, and some ISRDDN list given by Dick.

Thanks,
Samrat.

Here at work, I opened a dataset for edit. I then used the command TSO ISRFIND, specified JCK for the Member Name and Y for LOADMOD. ISRFIND found this program in a library HLQ.JCLCHECK.LOADLIB. This macro is, of course, only accessible in an executable binary format.

Hey Spock,
It(ISRFIND) is giving same results as "m <mem name>" with ISRDDN. Btw was command do u give on command line while doin jcl syntax validation? is it "JCK" OR "!JCK". I'm getting the results whn i search for "JCK" bt nothing for "!JCK" in both ISRFIND and ISRDDN.

Macros staring with an exclamation mark are PROGRAMS, and it's highly unlikely that you'll find the source anywhere on your system.

Hey prino, u r a rite..

so here in my case "JCK" is the the macro which is executable program,i saw this mem as binary in the mems given by ISRFIND and ISRDDN.

Thanks a lot for all your efforts..

Samrat, I hope you had noticed that I had changed the Subject of your top and removed the word "REXX". I was wondering from the beginning how you would've know that the macro was coded in REXX if you didn't know where the source was and what system library it was in. Hopefully others reading this will take note that there's no specific requirement that ISPF Edit macros MUST be coded in REXX.
