The above Rexx can also be executed from within a job(JCL) as shown bellow:



//************************************************

//STEP010 EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01,DYNAMNBR=75

//SYSPROC DD DISP=SHR,DSN=Your-REXX-Library

//SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=*

//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*

//SYSTSIN DD *

YOURREXX-NAME

/*





Common Errors:

1)

Job abended with MAXCC=12.

spool information in SYSTSPRT



+++ S_RC = RXSUBCOM('ADD','DSNREXX','DSNREXX')

Error running YOURREXX-NAME, line 62: Routine not found



You may have to add a SDSNLOAD library(that contains a member RXSUBCOM) to joblib in your JCL.

e.g.

//JOBLIB DD DSN=ssidPRD.ssid.SDSNLOAD,DISP=SHR
