Using the code:

Select all
/* REXX */                                                         
Trace I                                                           
"ALLOC FI(OUPUT1) DA("TEMP0001.COPYLIB")",                         
       "NEW RECFM(F B) DIR(10) LRECL(80) BLKSIZE(80)" ,           
       "TRACKS SPACE(10,10)"                                       
"ISPEXEC LMINIT DATAID(OUDD) DATASET("TEMP0001.COPYLIB")"

Select all
ISPF service call not allowed during exit invocation.   

I am curious about what environment you were trying to execute it from. My guess is you tried to run it as a panel exit.

Please use MSGID ON to see error message numbers. It is easier to look it up in the messages and codes manual. Or if this was displayed in the ISPF error panel, the message id is shown in the lines preceding what you posted.

Hi Pedro and MrSpoc,

I have tried the same code:

Select all
TRACE I
XLAYDST = DPFCBPR.UNTE.COPYLIB                               
XLAYDSM = "DPFCBPR.UNTE.COPYLIB(FLXLWV55)"                   
"ALLOC FI(INPUT1) DA('"XLAYDST"') SHR REUSE"                 
"ALLOC FI(OUPUT1) DA("'TEMP0001.COPYLIB'")",                 
       "NEW RECFM(F,B) DIR(10) LRECL(80) BLKSIZE(80)" ,       
       "TRACKS SPACE(10,10)"                                 
"ISPEXEC LMINIT DATAID(OUDD) DATASET("'TEMP0001.COPYLIB'")"

And what do you suppose a "panel exit" is, kusomushi, save Rexx that is executed in an ISPF panel? Doesn't that make the significance of "ISPF service call not allowed during exit invocation" clear to you?

You can't use any ISPF service -- anything that you would precede with address ispexec -- in a panel exit -- Rexx that is embedded in or invoked from an ISPF panel.

Dr. Sorichetti has suggested that you use the standard ISPF option 3.3 -- the move/copy utility. If all that you are trying to do is copying one data set or member to another, I endorse this suggestion. If you are trying to more, explain what you are trying to achieve, so that we may offer suggestion that do not require the impossible.

the information posted is not enough for us to spend time trying to recreate Your problem

post ...
the PANEL definition
the REXX script

use the code tags

I see that You are using the ERRORTEXT function ...
it is pretty useless in this context, ERRORTEXT display the text for errors related to <internal> errors ( SYNTAX and friends )
see here for a discussion of it

Re: LMINIT is not being recognized

Postby Pedro » Wed Feb 06, 2013 3:39 am

is there any other option for the same


1. start a rexx program
2. from rexx, display the panel
3. when user presses Enter, the panel ends and control returns to rexx.
4. from rexx, do your other service calls.

That is, do not start with a panel to call rexx.
