How to correctly use an ISPF macro from an OPS REQUEST rule (started with ISPF)

[Anon Anon]

Additional info
The code:

Address ISPEXEC; "EDIT DATAID("Sysin") MACRO(ENDMAC)

The macro

Address ISREDIT "MACRO PROCESS"

Address ISREDIT "END"

Exit

 

All I get is a message saying: COMMAND ENDMAC NOT FOUND

Hello Torek,

 

Without having access to more documenation it sounds like you have a running environment problem.

If your REQ rule includes the Address ISPEXEC statement you should then be running it under a valid ISPF environment.

In our sample provided in CCLXRULS dataset the REQ rule OPAODIGL should give you examples how to code your rule.

Since REQ rules can use Address ISPEXEC services then just make sure that macro ENDMAC has been made accessible to the SYSPROC DD concatenation of your OPSMAIN task.

I hope this all helps you today.

If it does not then please cut a new Customer Support ticket so we can help you further.

 

Regards, Cesar

Hello Cesar, thank you for your reply. I allocated OPSP.TNSBX1.MACLIB (where the ENDMAC macro resides) library to SYSPROC DD in both OPSMAIN and OPSOSF procedures, but I'm afraid I'm not any closer to a solution, i still get error messages, please see attached file

 

And I didn't find anything in the OPAODIGL rule  that brings me any closer to solve this

 

I will cut a new Support ticket later today

 

Regards Tore

Hello Tore,

Thank you fo sharing how you corrected the problem reported in this Community thread.

In summary, if your REQ rule includes the Address ISPEXEC statements you should then be sure that a valid ISPF environment exists from where the REQ rule is firing.

Torek was using OPSVIEW option U to run the REQ rule and he had to make the libraries that contains the pieces needed to run it were defined in the SYSLIB DD name of both OPSMAIN and OSF Servers as well the CLIST used to enter in OPSVIEW.

Case is now closed as well this Community thread.

Thanks

Cesar
