How to find the name of the LIBRARIAN member in an ISPF Edit Macro

Products

Issue/Introduction

Using the following ISPF Edit Macro QUERY to get the name of the Librarian member I currently edit, however no member name displayed.

The below query is set up to pass the dataset and member:

'ISREDIT MACRO'           
"ISREDIT (datname) = DATASET"
"ISREDIT (memname) = MEMBER" 
 SAY "Library:"datname   
 SAY "Member:"memname   
 trace i   
"ISPEXEC VGET (ELI$DMOD) SHARED" 
 SAY ELI$DMOD  

 

 

 

Environment

Release: 4.4 

Resolution

ELI$DMOD is the ELIPS variable used in ELIPS Exit processing. 

For ELIPS Edit Macros, use the Edit Macro variable  ELI$RMOD.

Here is an example ELIPS Edit Macro that returns the DSN of Master file and the name of the member being edited in ELIPS:

000001 /* REXX */
000002
000003 ISREDIT MACRO
000004 ISPEXEC CONTROL ERRORS RETURN
000005
000006   ISPEXEC VGET (ELI$RMF) SHARED
000007   SAY ELI$RMF
000008   ISPEXEC VGET (ELI$RMOD) SHARED
000009   SAY ELI$RMOD
000010
000011
000012 EXIT
