Rexx to copy PDS to OMVS file

[SAL COSTANZO]

I can run this under TSO, to copy a PDS member to a OMVS directory:

"OPUTX" "'USER1.INPUT.DATA80(AAA)'"   '/u/USER1/junkdir/newfile'



But I need OPS/MVS to do the copy.  If I run above with !OI, says I need a valid ISPF environment.

I am looking to have a CMD Rule issue a COPY command for me.   Any ideas on how to build this?  Anyone have a sample they currently use?

Thanks!
Sal

Hi Sal,

Have you considered using OPUT instead of OPUTX? OPUT does not require an ISPF environment.

From ISPF 6, this works:
OPUT 'USER1.INPUT.DATA80(AAA)'  '/u/USER1/junkdir/newfile'

But when I put in a REXX (even with ADDRESS TSO), I cant run it with a TSO command NOT an !OI
I get:
INVALID CURRENT PASSWORD
RETURN CODE 00000004 RECEIVED DURING PARSING OF THE COMMAND.
+++ RC(12) +++


Any ideas of the syntax in a REXX??

Hi Sal,

Use double quotes around the whole OPUT command:

ADDRESS TSO
"OPUT 'USER1.INPUT.DATA80(AAA)'  '/u/USER1/junkdir/newfile'"
