How to pass parameters to external macro thru rexx exec

[pallu2]

Hi,
Could any one pls tell me how to pass a parameter to a external macro ( rexx macro).I am trying to execute the following...

ADDRESS ISPEXEC,
"VIEW DATASET('userid.REXX.IDFILE') MACRO(MACRO1) var"


/* MACRO MACRO1"*/Its in a diffent dataset*/
"FIND" var "FIRST"
DO WHILE RC=0
"(DATA1) = LINE .ZCSR"
SAY DATA1
"FIND "var" NEXT"
END
"END"
EXIT 0

Thanks in advance..

The only practical way is via the variable pools:

ADDRESS ISPEXEC
"VPUT (VAR) SHARED"
"VIEW DATASET('userid.REXX.IDFILE') MACRO(MACRO1)"

MACRO1 will then
address ISPEXEC "VGET (VAR)"
and will then be able to use it as shown.
