I want to write a REXX program in VM/CMS environment which will pop-up a customized menu panel and ask for user Input. Upon entering the different input fields the REXX program will take those data and start processing. Can anyone please help?
 
I suspect this will not be the first panel ever created on your vm/cms system.

Suggest you find one that is working, clone this, and modify for your requirement.
 
Hi Papadba,

Actually this s the first time that I am creating a panel in vm/cms. Can you please help
 
Can you please help
Unfortunately not. I've not had a vm/cms id since y2k. . .

While this may be your first time working with a panel, are there not other panels on the system that could be cloned?
 
I can show you how it's done on MVS if that's any help. Pop on over to and look at DEIMBED. Then look at ARRANGE (which uses DEIMBED).

I embed my panels at the bottom of my REXX code, then use DEIMBED to extract them and write them as members in a temporary MVS library that I LIBDEF as ISPPLIB. You will have to do something like that on VM, although I can't quite say what or how.
