This page shows a list of some of our Rexx execs that
we want to make available.

We would definitely recommend the use of Rexx over clist and we thoroughly recommend Michael Cowlishaw's book " The Rexx Language: A Practical Approach To Programming". It is a wonderful reference book, in it's own right and an invaluable learning tool when it comes to Rexx 'how to' type questions. |
Some of them will need tailoring to meet your own site requirements but we have placed comments in them to identify which lines need to be changed. You may also require a copy of our prepped ISPF panels which are available here. If you would like the source code to the panels please contact us directly and we will make them available to you.
As ever you are free to use this code but please read our disclaimers and copyright information.
A full TSO XMI file of all the code is available here.
If you prefer an IEBUPDTE version of the file, it is available here
In addition to these Rexx Execs we have made available some of our Edit Macros. These are available here
| Name |
Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Create a dataset with the same attributes as the one next to which this command is issued on an ISPF 3.4 panel. This REXX has been obsoleted by the ISPF "AL" line command | ||
|
| ||
| This is the Rexx facility that allows ASLCOPY format statements to be generated. It is delivered bundled with ASLCOPY. The required panels and message datasets are included. This program is distributed as a TSO TRANSMIT file. The source code is included. The file will need to be transferred to a z/OS system in binary format and then RECEIVED. Link to information page click here. | ||
|
| ||
| Loads a ISPF profile (ASLACTDB) with the defined DB2 subsystems on an LPAR along with the status of each one. | ||
|
| ||
| Loads a ISPF profile (ASLACTMQ) with the defined MQ subsystems on an LPAR along with the status of each one. | ||
|
| ||
| This exec will emtpy an existing sequential file or create and empty a new sequential file The dataset name should be passed to the exec as the first parameter. An optional second parameter allows you to specify the logical record length to use (the default is 133). | ||
|
| ||
| Checks the format of a string passed to it to see if it is a valid dataset name format and returns a code of zero if all is well Link to information page click here. | ||
|
| ||
| Change the userid in the ISPF statistics for a PDS. This exec can be called from the ISPF 3.4 panel | ||
|
| ||
| This will create an exact cloned copy of a dataset from the ISPF 3.4 panel. The volume that will be used for the cloned copy can be changed. CLONE requires our assembler program ASLVTOC. | ||
|
| ||
| Scans partitioned datasets for like named members and produces a CSV file of the results with any ISPF statistics. This file can then be manipulated using Excel. The files to be scanned can be either a list of partitioned dataset or datasets matching a pattern. CM is an alias of this rexx command. For installation instructions click the button below. This program is distributed as a TSO TRANSMIT file. The source code is included. The file will need to be transferred to a z/OS system in binary format and then RECEIVED.

| Count the occurrences of one string in another. Link to information page click here. | ||
