I want to design a panel but the program is showing error ,the following is my code

/*REXX*/
ADDRESS ISPEXEC
"DISPLAY PANEL(PNL)"
/* MEMBER PNL
) PANEL
) ATTR DEFAULT(%+_)
% TYPE(TEXT) INTENS(HIGH)
+ TYPE(TEXT) INTENS(LOW)
) BODY
+ A SAMPLE PANEL
+ ########################################
+ %ENTER YOUR NAME PLEASE===>_URNAME +
+
+ +PRESS ENTER TO CONTINUE,PF3 TO EXIT +
+
+
) INIT
) PROC
VER (&URNAME,NE,ALPHAB)
)END
*/

the following is the error i am getting

ISPV021
Invalid GET request
Variable name ')' is not a valid REXX variable name.

You are mixing ISPF panel constructs with rexx code

here are the links to the relevant manuals
for REXX/TSO
http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/ ... s/IKJ4BK90

for ISPF
http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/ ... s/ISPZPM70

Yes. This part is fine for coding in REXX:

Select all

/*REXX*/
ADDRESS ISPEXEC
"DISPLAY PANEL(PNL)"

The calling code would be similar in any other language as well, like COBOL:

Select all

CALL ISPLINK ('DISPLAY ','PNL').

Then you need a member "PNL" in your panel library (ISPPLIB):

Select all

)PANEL
)ATTR DEFAULT(%+_)
% TYPE(TEXT) INTENS(HIGH)
+ TYPE(TEXT) INTENS(LOW)
)BODY
+ A SAMPLE PANEL
+ ########################################
+ %ENTER YOUR NAME PLEASE===>_URNAME +
+
+ +PRESS ENTER TO CONTINUE,PF3 TO EXIT +
+
+
)INIT
)PROC
VER (&URNAME,NE,ALPHAB)
)END

Note that, as Mr. Spock implies, the proximate cause of the error that you are getting is the spaces between the right parentheses and the keywords INIT and PROC.

the following is the error i am getting

ISPV021
Invalid GET request
Variable name ')' is not a valid REXX variable name.

1 - as shown the Rexx code is perfectly valid - just fails with panel not found
2 - once you create the panel THEN you get the errors specified
2 - once you fix the spaces after the )s I found, on my system, that ALPHAB is invalid
