I need to code a CA 7 REXX EXEC to issue CA-7 commands from the REXX EXEC rather than logging directly to a vtam terminal. Is there any way to pass the USERID/PASSWORD information? How is the script coded?
WA CA 7 Edition
The below SAMPLE CA 7 REXX EXEC is in the CA 7 CAL2CLS0(CA7REXX).
The CAL2LOAD is required to be accessible within your TSO LOGON PROC or within your CLIST library with the insertion of: TASKLIB DATASET('your.ca7.CAL2LOAD').
This sample REXX requires a TSO execution and not batch.
The CA 7 REXX EXEC is coded as follows:
/* REXX */
/*-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
/* */
/* Sample CA 7 REXX to invoke CA 7 CCI REXX Interface to */
/* pass commands to CA 7 and receive back the output from those */
/* commands. */
/* */
/* Syntax : CA7REXX cmda...;cmdb...;cmdc */
/* */
/* Environment Variables : */
/* */
/* ca7_node = CCI Node where CA 7 resides (default= local node) */
/* ca7_ssct = identifies instance of CA 7 to communicate with. */
/* This is the suffix of the CCI receiver name of */
/* the CA 7 instance. */
/* */
/* The default is the CA 7 instance name (CA71-CA78). */
/* However, this value can be overridden using */
/* either of the following keywords on the SVCNO */
/* statement in the CA 7 init file: */
/* */
/* XTMNAME= */
/* RNAME= */
/* */
/* The CCI receiver name is announced at CA 7 */
/* startup with the following message: */
/* */
/* CA-7.XTM0 - CCI RECEIVER IS: #NNNNNNNN CA-7 XTM xxxx */
/* */
/* Use the receiver name suffix (xxxx) of the */
/* desired instance as the value of this variable. */
/* */
/* ca7_debug= 4 character string to pass to CA 7 CCI Interface: */
/* char 1 : Y = debug trace (default=N) */
/* char 2 : command separator character (default=;) */
/* char 3 : --- reserved for future use --- */
/* char 4 : --- reserved for future use --- */
/* */
/* NOTE: If you execute this REXX exec in a TSO/ISPF */
/* environment, the default character separator (;) may */
/* conflict with the TSO/ISPF command separator. If so, */
/* override the default in the ca7_debug variable to a */
/* different character, such as a pound sign (#). */
/*------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
