| Execute REXX EXEC From WebFOCUS? | Login/Join |
| Master |
Greetings, I can execute a REXX EXEC called 'FTPFLD', from a FOCUS for z/OS focexec, with the following command: EDIT UID.FOCUS.FOCEXEC(EXREXX) Command ===> 000003 MVS ISPSTART CMD(FTPFLD)When I try the same command in WebFOCUS (our reporting server is on z/OS), I receive the following error: FOC1517) UNRECOGNIZED COMMAND MVS ISPSTART CMD(FTPFLD)Does anyone have a idea if/how I can execute a REXX EXEC from WF? (Where I am going with this, is that my code is going to create a PDF report HOLD file, and then FTP that file, via FTP commands within the REXX EXEC.) Regards,<br />DaveThis message has been edited.

David, If at first you don't succeed then turn it on its head. Any chance of calling the WebFOCUS fex from the REXX routine, waiting for the output to be generated and then continue with the FTP? Just a thought but shouldn't the "MVS" be preceded by a hyphen? as in - -MVS ISPSTART CMD(FTPFLD) ?? | |||

Don't know if it's appropriate for MVS, but under Unix and Linux you can pass commands to the OS by prefixing with an exclamation: e.g.- !ftp -ui < ./ftp/&FTPSCRIPT | |||

Robin, Thank you for your comment. What you are doing in Unix/Linux (invoking the OS command FTP) is exactly what I want to do in z/OS. Now I just need to know: 1. If this is an option with WF for z/OS. 2. What the syntax might be. Hopefully, somone on the forum can help me. -Dave | |||

Hi Tony, Thank you for your suggestions. My user is filling out a launch page in a self-service web application. They have a choice between seeing their PDF report within their browser, or having the PDF report being sent to a UNIX server via FTP. So, I don't have the option to have REXX call WF to do the report, and then FTP the report. I looked up your suggested syntax possibility in the manual, and indeed there is a command -MVS op_system command. So, I did try it, and while the FOC1517 went away, the REXX EXEC did not execute. Thank you again, for your suggestions. It must be something. -Dave | |||

Are you sure the library that contains the REXX pgm is allocated properly? | |||

Hi, I think my allocation, to the dataset where my REXX EXEC resides is OK. I allocate SYSPROC directly before the call the the REXX EXEC: DYNAM ALLOC DD SYSPROC DS UID.CLIST SHR REUSE -RUN -TYPE READY TO INVOKE REXX MVS ISPSTART CMD(FTPFLD) -RUN-TYPE REXX COMPLETE -EXIT In FOCUS for z/OS, SYSPROC is where FOCUS looks for REXX code. (This technique works ok in FOCUS for z/OS.) At this point, I'm guessing I'll have to do something different, in WebFOCUS running under a z/OS Reporting Server. Thank you for your comment.
