Subject: Unable to copy data from spool in a dataset via Batch job.
Posted: Fri Jul 28, 2017 9:10 pm (GMT 5.5)

Hello all,

I have tried extract the spool data of a job in a dataset but not have been unable to do so.Not sure what exactly i am missing.

//TDPSPARM JOB 0000,
// 'LIVE TEMPLATE QUERY',CLASS=D,MSGCLASS=U,
// NOTIFY=&SYSUID
//BSDSF EXEC PGM=ISFAFD,PARM='++30,256'
//ISFOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//ISFIN DD *
PRE TDPSPARM
ST
++?
FIND 'SYSTSPRT'
++S
PRINT ODSN 'TIM.SPOOL.NEW' * SHR
PRINT 1 9999
PRINT CLOSE
END
EXIT
/*
//

I also tried giving dataset name in SYSPRINT above but dataset is blank.
Is that due to some authorization error or the environment doesnot support this utility.Not sure though.
Can you all help me in figuring out if i have missed anything.I checked some of the earlier post but they seem to be dormant so i posted here.My humble apologies just incase i broke any standard norms followed on this forum.

regards

You have a JOB named SYSTSPRT? That is what your FIND command is saying.

I thought any storage used by rexx would be released when the rexx program ended.

For that reason, I think it likely that your DB2 access is getting storage and not releasing it. Tell us about how you access DB2; more importantly, how cleanup is done when you end the rexx program. (I say 'us', because I am not familiar with how rexx does DB2 stuff)

I encountered this recently and this is how I got it to work.

I will modify your JCL.

Your dataset will contain more than just the output you want. The screens traversed will be shown.

I added a SORT step to extract the data I really wanted.

There may be a better way, but this worked for me.

Code:
/TDPSPARM JOB 0000,
// 'LIVE TEMPLATE QUERY',CLASS=D,MSGCLASS=U,
// NOTIFY=&SYSUID
//BSDSF EXEC PGM=ISFAFD,PARM='++30,256'
//ISFOUT DD DSN=TIM.SPOOL.NEW,DISP=SHR
//SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=*
//ISFIN DD *

I believe you need to first understand whart memory is not being freed up.
If you go by the route to increase TSO logon region size, then you have to increase to a number higher than 32768. You would face issues if you increase it slightly from say 8M to 10M.

For indepth understanding of how TSO LOGON REGION size works. Look at this link talking about "Size matters" - That's what she said
http://www.askthezoslady.com/tag/how-to-increase-tso-logon-region-size/

Quote:
– You specify less than 16 Meg
– you specify more than 32 Meg
– you specify between 16 Meg and 32 Meg (boring)

Specifying less than 16 Meg

Any user-specified logon SIZE value less than 16 Meg just controls the amount of 24-bit memory you can use.

The limit on how much you can get for 24-bit memory will vary depending on how much your own particular system has reserved for its own use (such as the z/OS "nucleus" and what not), and for the system to use for you on your behalf, for example for building tables in memory from the DD statements in your JCL. (Yes, you have JCL when you are logged onto TSO, you just don't see it unless you look for it. The Logon screen has a field for a logon proc, remember that? It's a JCL proc.)Any 24-bit memory the system doesn’t reserve for itself to use, you can get. This is called private area storage (subpools 229 and 230).

Typical mistake: A user who thinks he has an 8 Meg region size may try to increase it to 9 Meg by typing in 9216 for size. The LOGON attempt may fail. It may fail because there is not nine Meg of leftover 24-bit storage that the system isn’t using. Such a user might easily but mistakenly conclude that it is not possible for him to increase the region size above what he had before. Ha ha wrong, you say to yourself (possibly with a little smile). Because you now know that they have to specify a number bigger than 32768 — that is, more than 32 Meg.

Specifying more than 32 Meg

To increase the actual Region size, of course, as you now know, the user needs to specify a number bigger than 32 Meg (bigger than SIZE==>32768). When you specify a value above 32Meg, it governs how much 31-bit storage you get. The maximum that can be specified is 2096128 (2 Gigabytes).

Specifying any value above 32 Meg ALSO causes the user to get all available 24-bit memory (below the 16mb line). This has the potential to cause problems related to use of 24-bit memory (subpools 229/230). This could happen if the program you’re running uses a lot of 24-bit memory and then requests the system to give it some resource that makes the system need to allocate more 24-bit memory, but it can’t, because you already took it all. The request fails. The program abends, flops, falls over or hangs. This happens extremely rarely, but it can happen, so it’s something for you to know as a possibility.

Specifying between 16 Meg and 32 Meg

What happens if you specify a number bigger than 16 Meg but smaller than 32 Meg? You still get the 32 Meg region size, of course. You also get all the 24-bit storage available — The 24-bit memory is allocated in the same way as it would have been if you had specified a number above 32 Meg. So asking for 17 Meg or 31 Meg has EXACTLY the same identical effect: It increases the request for 24-bit storage to the maximum available, but it leaves the overall region size at the default of 32 Meg. Having this ability must be of use to someone in some real world situation I suppose, or why would IBM have bothered to provide it? but imagining such a situation evades the grasp of my own personal imagination.

Presumably TRX is some vendor product? If you know what each TRX command is doing you may be able to code replacements.

TRX is no more used anywhere, i tried to search for it and i think the code is extracting a dataset from concatenation and then the file from it But i want to know what would be the function in rexx to do so.

This subroutine gets passed a dataset and file name. Then it
uses TRX to look for that dataset in the the DD concatenation
for that file name. If it finds the dataset in the concatenation
it returns a 1. If it doesn't find the dataset, it uses TRX to
place it into the concatenation and returns a zero.

I strongly advise using the SDSF REXX API, see the manual 'SDSF Operation and Customization' chapter 'Using SDSF with the REXX programming
language'. It can be a bit daunting at first, but it provides a much better interface to spool data.

I do not remember if BPXWDYN will return all the datasets in a concatenation

if it does not ...
here is a snippet that might help You



Code:

/* $listdd     */
$listdd:procedure
   Trace "O"
   parse arg ddnm
   ddnm      = translate(strip(ddnm))
   list      = ""
   if ddnm = ""      then ,
      return list
   tiotptr=24+ptr32(12+ptr32(ptr32(ptr32(16))))
   tioelen=c2d(stg(tiotptr,1))
   do until ( tioelen = 0 | tioeddn = ddnm )
       tioeddn = strip(stg(tiotptr+4,8))
       if tioeddn \= ddnm then ,
           tiotptr=tiotptr+tioelen
       tioelen=c2d(stg(tiotptr,1))
   end
   if tioeddn = ddnm then ,
   Do Until ( tioelen=0 | stg(4+tiotptr,1) \= " " )
      jfcb = swareq(stg(tiotptr+12,3))
      list = list      strip(stg(jfcb,44))
      tiotptr=tiotptr+tioelen
      tioelen=c2d(stg(tiotptr,1))
   End
   list = space(list)
   return list

/* $ctlblks    */
ptr32: Return c2d(Storage(d2x(Arg(1)),4))
ptr64: Return c2d(Storage(d2x(Arg(1)),8))
stg:   Return Storage(d2x(Arg(1)),Arg(2))

/* swareq      */
swareq:procedure
    If right(c2x(Arg(1)),1) \= 'F' Then
       return c2d(Arg(1))+16
    sva = c2d(Arg(1))
    tcb = ptr32(540)
    jscb = ptr32(tcb+180)
    qmpl = ptr32(jscb+244)                                           
    qmat = ptr32(qmpl+24)
    do while (sva>65536)
      qmat = ptr32(qmat+12)
      sva = sva - 65536
    end
    return ptr32(qmat+sva+1)+16



invoked with ...
Code:
dslist = $listdd("SOMEDD")
say dslist

it should return tha dataset names allocated to SOMEDD

the snippet is pretty old but it was tested and running ...
I still use it in my logon proc ( zOS pre 2.xxx )

see here for my TSO setup script

BPXWDYN INFO will only return the first datasetname in a concatenation.
If you are running under ISPF then QBASELIB can be used as shown in this sample:
Code:
 "alloc dd(tcc) da('sys1.help' 'ISP.AISPHELP') shr reuse"
 address ispexec "qbaselib tcc id(ds1)"                   
 say 'tcc before:' ds1                                   
 "alloc dd(tcc) da("ds1 "'ISP.SISPHELP') shr reuse"       
 address ispexec "qbaselib tcc id(ds2)"                   
 say 'tcc after:' ds2

Hi Good Morning ,

I am new to REXX so please bear with me if this simple question.

I have Coded REXX

1. Main REXX program (XYZ)

Code:

 /************** DATASET RECALL *************************/
 DATASETR:                                                 
    USER=USERID()

    HLQ  = RQUAL                                           
 SELECT                                                   
  WHEN SYS='CCA0' THEN                                     
     DO                                                   
         IF RSS = 'A1' THEN                               
           DO                                             
            OWN1 = 'LK'                                   
            SKEL = 'SAVELST'                               
            CALL RUNJOB                                   



2. Savelist CLIST .

Code:

ADDRESS ISPEXEC                                                     
/****************************************************************/   
/* CHANGE THE QUALIFIERS AS PER REQUIREMENT                     */   
/****************************************************************/

/****************************************************************/   
DSNLEV = '&HLQ..AS&RSS..F*.&HLQ..A&RSS..*'                           
"LMDINIT LISTID("LSTASMF") LEVEL("DSNLEV")"

Where HLQ and RSS needs to pass from main REXX program

SAVELST is the job which need to be exeuted to take the save list.

You have multiple issues here.
  • Running services like LMDLIST in batch requires additional DD statements in the the JCL so ISPF can run. That may be the proximate cause of the U0102 ABEND.
  • You can invoke a CLIST in a Rexx EXEC in two ways.
    • As a pseudo TSO line command

      clist-member ...

      If you do this the CLIST must be a member in a partitioned data set specified by a SYSPROC DD statement.
    • As a TSO EXECUTE (EX) command

      EX clist ' ... '

      where clist is the data set name of a data set containing your CLIST or dataset(clist)

  • I believe the Rexx CALL command usually references a procedure in the same member as the CALL command. RUNJOB is not a procedure in your prototype Rexx exec. I know a Rexx CALL can reference an external procedure, but I am not enough of a Rexx expert to coach you in the requirements to call an external procedure.
