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 | |
|---|---|---|
| Checks to see if a Rexx exec exists in either SYSEXEC or the SYSPROC concatenations. Usage: If the exec exists FINDREXX will set a return code of 0. If it doesn't exist the return code will be 8. | ||
|
| ||
| Returns the dataset name associated with the passed DD name. In the case of a dataset concatenation the first dataset name is returned. Useage: The routine PUSHes the data onto a stack for the calling EXEC to retrieve it. | ||
|
| ||
| Returns the profile prefix being used by the TSO user. If PROFILE NOPREFIX is used then ''N'' is returned. Link to information page click here. | ||
|
| ||
| This exec will validate a passed date. If the date is valid it will return a return code of 0. It supports various date formats and dates in the format of the local date (i.e 26 JAN 2021) Link to information page click here. | ||
|
| ||
| Display the job number or TSO id number if run under TSO. Link to information page click here. | ||
|
| ||
| Show the jobname of the id running the Rexx EXEC. This will be the TSO id under TSO or the batch jobname in batch. Link to information page click here. | ||
|
| ||
| This Rexx exec will convert a Julian date in the format yyyy.ddd into a Gregorian date in the format yyyy/mm/dd. It can be used as a stand alone exec or it can be called by another exec. To use it as a called function use: Gregdate = Jul2Greg('yyyy.jjj','a') In this example the 'a' suppresses messages from the Jul2Greg exec | ||
|
| ||
| Performs a LISTCAT from the ISPF 3.4 menu. All file types are supported. | ||
|
| ||
| Returns a count of the number of levels in a passed dataset name. e.g. LEVELS 'SYS1.PARMLIB' would return a value of 2. There is no check made for the validity of the dataset name nor that the dataset exists. | ||
|
| ||
| Lists all the online DASD volumes along with their associated unit addresses. | ||
