Hello,
Can we access a Partitioned data set in Rexx? I'm not sure about the Syntax - Please help.

Your post is not clear about what you need help with.
The answer to your question is Yes, REXX can access a PDS.
The simplest way is if you want to read a member of the PDS, allocate the data set name with member name and let REXX handle the read as if it were sequential. If you want to write to a member of a PDS, allocate it and do the output.
If you are wanting something more complex, Google is your friend. Googling rexx pds returns over 62,000 hits and I'm sure one or more of them will provide what you are looking for.

Thanks Robert, I was reading a book and got this question. I've very limited access to Internet these days, which made me to ask here.
