Hi, It's much simpler than that: The user has the job displayed in the editor. He Submits the job. The user enters a command on the command line, moves the cursor to the job name and presses enter The command performs the following functions: 1. get the job name from the cursor position 2. starts SDSF 3. enters the prefix command with the job name 4. enters the ST command.
The user can then look at the job, monitor its execution, and do all the other wonderful things you can do in SDSF. gadi -----Original Message----- From: Lizette Koehler [mailto:stars...@mindspring.com] Sent: Monday, September 06, 2010 3:41 PM To: גדי בן אבי Subject: RE: Passing commands to SDSF in REXX > What the user wants to do is: > Write a REXX program that will take the job name from the current > cursor position and then start SDSF with that job name as a prefix. > > This is online, under ISPF. > How are you planning to provide the Jobname for this function? Is the user unable to do a PREFIX in SDSF on their own? I am not understanding the full intent of this application you are creating. Are these jobs the user submitted but different names? You can limit user view through the SDSF or SAF security functions so they only see their jobs. To answer your basic question - yes you can do this. However, there needs to be more of an application definition to determine what is really wanted. It almost sounds like you are going to write a pre filter to SDSF. I would not want to have to support that since there are facilities available in the z/OS system with SDSF and SAF to provide a cleaner process. So, if I underdstand 1) Provide a display screen for a user to select a jobname. How is the jobname obtained? What provides the list? 2) Once the jobname is provided issue the SDSF command with that jobname as the prefix. What functions are to be provided once in SDSF? Is normal SAF or SDSF control in place at this point? 3) Will you be using an ISPF Panel for the job selection? How are you controlling the data? Is this being fed by another process? 4) Any thing else???
