Call and create panels in rexx.

[Kiran Vijay]

Hi All,

Can someone please direct me to a direction to create panels using rexx? I thought to call a ISPF panels using rexx. But can we create panels using REXX? Iam very new when it comes to creating panels. I have started with a simple one and called it using ISPEXEC in rexx but 'panel not found' error came up. How can we give the path of a panel in rexx which we want to call?

Ypu can use any programming language you want to create an ISPF panel but you can only use those that support ISPEXEC to display it.

To display the panel the panel must be in a library/pds that is allocated to the DDname that is used for panels.

Have you looked at your setup? Other panels? Other rexx programs? The ISPF Dialogue manuals?

THanks. I have used this:

Code: Select all

/*REXX*/ 
PANELLIBS="PANEL.PDS" 
ADDRESS ISPEXEC 
"LIBDEF ISPPLIB DATASET ID('"PANELLIBS"')" 
"DISPLAY PANEL(MYPANEL)"
