how the heck can we do it ?
if You had posted also the panel source in Your panel library
we might have some suggestions,
without looking at the panel source nothing we can do.

I knew that ...
I wanted to know if there were any differences between the original and the ones in Your ISP Libraries
and ... guess what?
THEY ARE NOT THE SAME

dowloaded the clist and the panel
FTPed to my host ...
tested and working

just start over the whole process

Posted: **Wed Sep 26, 2018 10:28 pm**

since I spent time testing
I would like to know if You solved Your problem

Posted: **Mon Oct 01, 2018 2:12 pm**

Hi Enrico,

I did it again but I see the same problem again.

1. I downloaded the CLIST and PANEL definition on the PC. Clicked on the links from Mark Zelden website, right-click and save as. Saved CLIST and PANEL as text file on the desktop.

2. Uploaded them to mainframe using command line FTP. This is the attribute of uploaded files:

 	  	*DSLIST  	REXX     	-PANEL   	ISPTERM

I have then copied them (ISPF cut/paste) to my PDS which is concatenated to my REXX SYSPROC libraries. CLIST is copied to the PDS ABCDEF.REXX(AMBCLIST) and ABCDEF.PANEL(AMBPANEL).

On START, when I typed TSO AMBCLIST, it shows the Panel error I posted before.

Why cut and paste? Why not select the member in your PDS and copy the data set.

I did that because the data-sets created after FTP has these attrbutes:

Record format : VB
Data length . : 252

But my PDS in which I have the CLIST and PANEL are of FB and 80 LRECL.

Posted: **Tue Oct 02, 2018 2:35 pm**

so? ISPF will happily copy them with a warning about truncation. But as the data is only in the first 80 bytes that is not a problem.

Posted: **Wed Oct 03, 2018 2:23 pm**

I just wanted to any possible errors.

I was thinking when I pass the PANEL like this in the CLIST

Code: Select all

ISPEXEC DISPLAY PANEL(AMBPANEL)

Will the CLIST pick it up from correct location? Or do I need to make some adjustments to refer to my personal PDS of panel?

Posted: **Wed Oct 03, 2018 4:55 pm**

Are you running the clist in your online session? Is your personal panel PDS allocated to your session? Is AMBPANEL only found in your personal panel PDS and not in any of the other PDSes that are allocated to your panel DD?
