How do I allocate Steplib in Foreground Rexx exec? 1
- Thread starter IDC3044
- Start date
hello,
I think you may be able to allocate your steplib as any regular existing datasets, or use ISPF LIBDEF (against DDNAME ISPLLIB) option.
anyway here is How I call a program located in one of my libraries without any reference to steplib or ispllib. the dataset is pecified on the call :
"CALL 'HH594D.TRS.LOAD(TRSMAIN)' 'PACK'"
hope it helps

STEPLIB is one of the protected DDnames. It can't be reallocated, and it can't be ALTLIBed. There are some add-on packages that get around this restriction by casting assembler spells, but most mainframe installations frown upon this sort of thing.
