capturing iformation from ispf tables

[pj69212]

Hi,
Iam new to Rexx, i got a request to generate the report using the data from ispf tables.

Please let me know the procedure.
here is my requirement.
we have 4 tables where jclname, pgm name, filename and other info needs to be captured in tabular format using 4 different tables.
let me know the start up procedure for the request.

Hmmmm.... Does this sound like a homework assignment?

1) do the tables already exist or do you have to create/populate them?
2) when you say 'jclname' do you mean 'jobname' or 'member'?
3) 'new to REXX' + 'build an ISPF dialog' = 'recipe for disaster'

Thanks for the response..,
not a home work.., it's an urgent request

tables are already present, i just need to capture the information from the table.
need to capture the name of the jcl only from the existing jcl table and so on..

Well, then you need to know:

LIBDEF for attaching (table) libraries to your session
TBOPEN/TBEND/TBCLOSE for startup/shutdown
TBSKIP/TBGET for reading rows
TBVCLEAR/TBSARG for setting search parameters

I can confidently say that you will do lots of floundering before you master ISPF Table Services.

If this is really urgent, you need to turn it over to someone who isn't "new to REXX".
