Postby keerthi286 » Thu Nov 15, 2012 4:20 pm

hi,

I am doing a tool using RExx and ISPF dialog.i am transferring a file from Pc to notepad usually will do by using option 6, am trying in using RExx.
I am getting error ISPP277

Panel 'XPORTPAN' error
First line of an area must identify the left and right boundaries.


My panel code is

Select all

Please learn how to use the Code tags to preserve formatting when you post.

Please also supply any information you feel may be usefule. Error messages, output produced etc.

With Rexx the first thing to do is to use Trace. Have you done that?

first ...
what has the topic to do with assembler

second ...
to make easier for the people willing to help You to understand Your problem
it is good manners to post code using - the name tells - the code tags
inline text uses a variable pitch font, code' d text uses a fixed pitch font

here is how things look ( just a random snippet form my toolbox )

As your error is an ISPF panel definition error I have moved this to TSO & ISPF
The problem I have is that people can explain things quickly but I can only comprehend slowly.

by reading the appropriate ISPF manuals about the REQUIRED CLAUSES in a PANEL definition

starting from

http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/os/zos/ ... index.html
and navigating to the proper bookshelf for Your zOS level

just for the problem described also an older level of the manuals might be enough

Re: File transfer tool

Postby Robert Sample » Thu Nov 15, 2012 7:24 pm

It is not that hard to find the error message in the appropriate manua or via LOOKAT:
ISPP277
Panel 'aaaaaaaa' error - First line of an area must identify the left and right boundaries.
Explanation:

Scrollable, graphic, and dynamic areas require that the area's attribute (defined in the attribute section) must designate the right and left boundaries of the area's first line.
Programmer response:

Use the areas attribute character (defined in the attribute section) to designate the left and right boundaries of the area's first line.
So maybe you should use the attribute byte to define the left and right boundaries of the first line? The error message text you posted pretty clearly indicates the same thing -- which implies a lot about your understanding of written English (or your ability to comprehend what you are given in writing).

BTW, it is not typical to use dynamic areas for the type of application that you are writing. You are making in harder than it should be. I think you should write the panel with fixed text and data entry fields. You use dynamic areas when the panel may show one thing the first time and something vastly different the next time.
