REXX - Showing/selecting members from PDS - ISRSSML

[makkutek12]

Hi,

I am developing a REXX tool where the input to the set of sub-macros will be PDS members. Currently, the REXX I/P panel can accept only a PDS name. All the members in the PDS will be scanned with sub-macros.

I need to upgrade this tool in such a manner that, once the PDS name is provided, a pop-up panel should come showing all the members available in the given PDS. Then the user should select the required members and this should be passed to the list of sub-macros.

In IBM we have a panel ISRSSML which is doing the same operation for our search operation. I am trying to reuse it but its really tough and complicated.

Can you some one please provide some ideas or thoughts?

Thanks
Arun

I presume you actually mean an ISPF panel as Rexx panels do no exist - rexx is just the means of delivering the panel to your screen in this case - other languages can do the same thing.

If you cannot suss out how a member selection list panel works then you could use library services to get the list of members and use table services to display a scrollable table of members for selection by the user. Then process each selected member.
