Appendix V -- ISPEXEC and ISREDIT Variables

Examples:

The QUERYALL macro results seen here [TSO code] can be invoked from a MACRO during testing to generate DATALINES at the end of your test. Do not save the changed macro or data being tested as you will have added lines that you probably do not want to keep.

LIBRARIAN equivalent for SYSDSN
The following code has not been tested but was supplied by LIBRARIAN under
tracking #1668787 11/1192 by James Mim.  LIBRARIAN must be at least
level 9202 the current level is 9207, and ours is 9102 (so we can't use yet).
To find level get into ELIPS and enter OPTION on the command line.

     SELECT PGM(ELIPS) DSN('librarian.dataset') CMD('B module;end')

     will return RC=14 if member not found.

Setting Variables or mode in REXX   [Appendix-V INDEX]
A separate little section has been created for REXX  as  a  reminder  to  use
quotes  except  around variables.  Obtaining variables was more straight for-
ward.  In setting variables you may have a variable ("PTR") which is    an  ad-
dress  (PTR=".STA")    which  must then be used as a REXX variable, since there
will be no TSO clist substitution for the likes of "&PTR.".

Returning Information from a Subprocedure
  - Return codes

PFK Usage in CLISTs

To show pfkeys or not to show pfkeys

   PFSHOW ON|OFF   <--- on ISPF
     ISPEXEC VGET (ZPFCTL)
     SET SVPFCTL = &ZPFCTL.
      &ellipse.
     SET ZPFCTL = &SVPFCTL.
     ISPEXEC VPUT (ZPFCTL)

To change a PFKEY for duration of a clist

   KEYS  (and then make changes)  <--- on ISPF
     ISPEXEC VGET (ZPF04)
     SET SVPF04  = &ZPF04.
      &ellipse.
     SET ZPFC04 = &SVPF04.
     ISPEXEC VPUT (ZPF04.)

Prefix and userid usage in CLISTs

Since some individuals will be running with PREFIX off,  clists  should  provide
for this possibility.   An example is found in SAS606.

  IF &STR(&SASUSER) EQ THEN DO
      IF &STR(&SYSPREF.) EQ &STR() -
         THEN SET &SASUSER = &STR('&SYSUID..SAS606.SASUSER')
         ELSE SET &SASUSER = &STR('&SYSPREF..SAS606.SASUSER')

An  example of more generic nature can be found in the clist CSTSOP which stores
prefix for later related clists.  This clist is initiated from panel  VUTSOP  or
VSTSOP used for on-line access to the SOP manual.


Library Access Services
Reference clist  @DIRSTAT  RESETDIR  @DIR

hierarchy (order) of Library Management functions

Some examples of usage are the clists (or REXX executes) -- @DIR (directory
     clist),  @DIRSTAT,  @SAVEX,  RESETDIR (reset directory)

  "(DSN018A) = DATASET"         /* ---- example in REXX -------------- */
  "LMINIT    DATAID(XCCX) DATASET('"||DSN018A||"')"
    "LMOPEN    DATAID("||XCCX||") OPTION(INPUT)"     /* use after LMINIT */
       ...
       "LMMFIND   DATAID("||XCCX||") MEMBER("||MEMBER||") STATS(YES)"                                                                                           "
       ...
       "LMMSTATS DATAID("||XCCX||") MEMBER("||MEMBER||")" TOKEN
       ...
    "LMCLOSE   DATAID("||XCCX||")"      /* use when finished LMOPEN */
  "LMFREE    DATAID("||XCCX||")"        /* when finished DATAID assigned by LMINIT*/
  EXIT 1

If  OPTION(OUTPUT)  is  used  on LMOPEN such as for LMMDEL, then need an enqueue
value such as ENQ(SHRW) on the LMINIT.  An example is the KILL clist.

LMINIT will assign to the DATAID named variable the name of a  ddname.    Had  a
variable  name  been  used then the variable name would have received the value.
Usage above in REXX is clear but use in clist language may pose a bit of  diffi-
culty  in interpretation.  Recommend never using an ampersand with the DATAID on
the LMINIT in clist language (contrary to some examples in manuals).

| TRANSLATE(string,tableo,tablei,pad);   if both tables are missing the  func- |
| tion  returns capitals.   If the output table is missing or shorter than the |
| input table, the output table is padded with the pad character.  If the out- |
| put table is longer than the input table the extra characters  will  be  ig- |
| nored.  If duplicates appear in the input table only the first occurrence of |
| the character is meaningful.                                                 |

|     REXX calling a TSO clist, where the TSO CLIST got a RC=4 within          |
|     terminated the TSO clist by REXX.   Problem solved by the addition       |
|     of  CONTROL NOFLUSH and CONTROL FLUSH around  code within the            |
|     TSO clist.  The TSO clist worked fine by itself and within other         |
|     TSO clists.                                                              |

|     The other problem encountered is the old TSO macro clist problem         |
|     -- creating a DATALINE where the content contains an  quote (single or   |
|     double) or an ampersand.                                                 |

oInteresting point:  In the above the ISREDIT LABEL would  not  work  until  the
word LABEL was capitalized.

In  a  REXX  execute it is much easier to pass quotes around a parameter than to
pass quotes with a token in a clist.

TOKEN is basically a simplified version of PATTERN, which was used  as  a  basis
for  determining  coding  changes  needed  in  converting  the  PATTERN clist in
"IS03.LIBR.CLIST(PATTERN)"      to     the     PATTERN     REXX     execute     in
"IS03.LIBR.EXEC(PATTERN)".        Both forms of PATTERN will be shown below.   The                                                                                    . 
clist will be shown first.

     PATTERN   'IS03.LIBR.CLIST(PATTERN)'         macro clist pattern
     PATTERN   'IS03.LIBR.EXEC(PATTERN)'          REXX exec macro pattern
     PATTERN   'IS03.LIBR.TEXT(PATTERN)'          script   doc.   pattern   (not
shown)
     QHELP     'sys1.tsoclist(QHELP)'             tso  help  info  into  file in
edit
     QHELP@    'sys1.tsoclist(QHELP@)'
     REXX      'IS03.LIBR.CLIST(REXX)'            set up to find within .EXEC
     REXX      'IS03.LIBR.EXEC(REXX)'             find within .EXEC afterwards
     REX#TERM  'IS03.LIBR.EXEC(REX#TERM)'         ex. changes to terminals list
     home      'IS03.libr.clist(home)'            set up  pfkeys  for  home  (no
good)
     token     'IS03.LIBR.CLIST(GDGNEW)'

The above clist is probably working.  If must be invoked in one of the following
forms.
       ===> TSO HOME H
       ===> TSO HOME W

Some Things to AVOID in MACROS or at least be aware of




Placing NOTELINE after .ZLAST

Placing  a  NOTELINE after .ZLAST can cause interference with later macro use as
illustrated in the following MACRO.  Such practice can interfere  with  the  CUT
macro for instance.   (ETR 8E852,149)

List of Manuals referred to in this chapter (NCAPXV)

This list may serve as a guide to examining and/or ordering manuals; however, please do not order manuals blindly.  Please verify beforehand that the manual numbers are still current.  If you order an out of date manual you could be paying a higher price for obsolete material.  Never include the 1 or 2 digit suffix number when ordering.  Even though a manual is listed you may have absolutely no interest in the manual.  Manuals may be examined in the SYSTECH library but are not to be removed from the library.  The SYSTECH library and it's contents are for the express needs of SYSTECH personnel.

Do NOT order the following manuals by name or number  These was created a long time ago and the manuals have probably changed.  But this may help you find the manuals that you need.
