How to pass arguments to REXX program through JCL

Can we pass arguments to a REXX program from JCL?

I suppose, JCL PARM can be used as we use for passing arguments to COBOL programs.. Do put your ideas here...

Solution

  • You want EXEC PGM=IRXJCL,PARM='member_name exec_args'. SYSEXEC should point to the PDS containing member name. SYSTSIN is the input for PULL, SYSTSPRT is the output DD for SAY

    Check out the "Using REXX in TSO/E and Other MVS Address Spaces" chapter in the "TSO/E Rexx User Guide" book (SA22-7791) for a full example.
