Invoking Skeletons From Rexx


Invoking Skeletons:

Once the skeletons are generated, they can be tailored and the tailored output can be stored in a dataset.

The following allocations are needed before invoking skeletons from REXX for file-tailoring.

  • Skeleton should be placed in a partitioned dataset as a member and the PDS should be allocated to DDname ISPLIB as follows:

    “ISPEXEC LIBDEF ISPSLIB DATASET ID('skel-dataset')”

    Skel-Dataset denotes the PDS in which skeleton is stored as a member.

  • The tailored output can be stored in a sequential dataset or as a member in partitioned dataset. This output dataset should be allocated to DDname ISPFILE as follows:

        “ISPEXEC LIBDEF ISPSLIB DATASET ID('Result-dataset')”

    Result-Dataset denotes the PDS in which skeleton is stored as a member.
