My REXX looks like this.
Previously, I passed one long string to my COBOL program as PARM5SS.
Now I am trying to create a PLIST to pass to my COBOL Program.
I do not really know what I am doing with this. I am just trying to figure
it out.
I could do it one way. I wanted to see if I could do it another way.
TRACE 'A'
COMMAREA = SUBSTR('UIF2087A 2012001 ',1,126)
COMMAREA_LEN = LENGTH(COMMAREA)
DATALENGTH = LENGTH(COMMAREA)
USER_ID = 'IF2087A '
APPLID = 'DHIPO158'
PROGRAM_NAME = 'Z7XG5SS '
OPERATION = 'A'
SMSF_ID = SUBSTR('FREDRICK',1,20)
RETURN_SWITCH = 'N'
RETURN_MESSAGE = SUBSTR('MESSAGE SENT TO REXXEXCI',1,80)
PARM5SS = SUBSTR('IF2087A DHIPO158Z7XG5SS AFREDDAY',1,126)
PARM = 'USERID('USER_ID') APPLID('APPLID') PROGRAM('PROGRAM_NAME')' ,
'OPERATION('OPERATION') SMSFID('SMSF_ID')' ,
'RETURNSWITCH('RETURN_SWITCH') RETURNMESSAGE('RETURN_MESSAGE')'
SAY 'COMMAREA CONTENTS BEFORE LINK ARE:' COMMAREA
CALL REXXEXCI PARM
SAY 'MAIN EXEC - RESULT VARIABLE CONTENTS:' RESULT
SAY
SAY 'TRACE_LOC IS:' TRACE_LOC
