Issue/Introduction

Error executing a REXX program that contains the OUTTRAP instruction:                                               

OPS0903E ERROR 43 COMPILING pgmname, LINE n: ROUTINE OUTTRAP NOT FOUND  

 
                                                          

 

Environment

Release : 13.5 14.0

Component : OPS/MVS

Cause

The OUTTRAP instruction can't be used with OPS/REXX, only TSO/E REXX. 

Resolution

There are 2 solutions:

1) Call the REXX as a TSO/REXX instead of OPS/REXX. If calling the REXX from a rule use:

ADDRESS OSF 'pgmname'        (instead of ADDRESS OSF "OI pgmname")

2) Read directly the REXX EDQ. For example:

/* rexx */
dsnname  = 'SAMPLE.CNTL.JCL'                                 
say '***************** start listc  *******************'      
clearedq=OPSCLEDQ()                                           
address TSO                                                   
"Listcat entries('"dsnname"')"                                
listclines = QUEUED()                                         
do l = 1 to listclines                                        
   pull listcatinfo                                           
   say listcatinfo                                            
   parse var listcatinfo 'VOLSER------------' volser .        
   say 'lines pulled: ' listcatinfo  ' is at volser: ' volser 
end                                                           
say '***************** end   listc  *******************'      
return           

 

Additional Information

NOTE:  This STEPLIB cannot be allocated in the REXX.
