Access data in control blocks, like from Jobname?

Post by Paramhans »

Hi,

Can anyone be of help. How can I access data which reside in control blocks, for example as jobname, in REXX? Are there some specific controls given in REXX for this or we need to write a series of commands for this? May I am confusing you but that's why I am asking.

Why not search? There was one question on this recently - maybe not on this forum but examples are "out there". Find them and understand them. You will need to refer to a manual or two (other than the Rexx labguage reference or other "end-user" orientated manuals). On the other hand - you could just use these without understanding them but you will not be able to play with them to get other information.
Regards
Nic

There is one example in this post Can we capture JOBNAME through the COBOL program?. I am trying to do a similar approach in REXX. Doing my work will post back if I get something working.
