Issue/Introduction

Can we use MACRO=PDS and still read macros from a Panvalet library as well as from a PDS/PO data set?

 

Resolution

MACRO=PDS can be used and still read macros from a Panvalet library.

Add ",SUBSYS=PANV" to the DD card and the PANV subsystem must be active - see query commands below, please.
 
These are the relevant options used for the following tests:
...
MACDDN=PANDD,  
MACRO=PDS,     
...
 
Now macros can either be read from a PANLIB or PDS, but not from both library types at the same time.
And, as mentioned already, ",SUBSYS=PANV" must be added to the PANDD DD when using a PANLIB.
 
This is an example using a PANLIB library:
...
//   SET STEPLIB1='your.EZTP64.CAILIB'                     
//   SET EZOPTBL1='your.EZTP64.EZTPOPT'                               
//   SET CAIMAC01='your.TEST.PANLIB'                                  
//*------------------------------------------------------------------* 
//COMPNGO  EXEC PGM=EZTPA00                                            
//STEPLIB  DD  DISP=SHR,DSN=&STEPLIB1                                   
//EZOPTBL  DD  DISP=SHR,DSN=&EZOPTBL1                                  
//PANDD    DD  DISP=SHR,DSN=&CAIMAC01,SUBSYS=PANV                      
//SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*                                                
//SYSOUT   DD  SYSOUT=*                                                 
//SYSIN    DD  *                                                       
*                                                                      
JOB INPUT NULL                                                          
  DISPLAY 'START MACRO TEST'                                           
  %EZPANMAC                                                            
  DISPLAY 'END   MACRO TEST'                                            
STOP                                                                   
*                                                                       
 
result:
...
START MACRO TEST                                   
Display from macro EZPANMAC on your.TEST.PANLIB   
END   MACRO TEST                                   
...
 
This is an example using a PO data set:
...
//   SET STEPLIB1='your.EZTP64.CAILIB'                      
//   SET EZOPTBL1='your.EZTP64.EZTPOPT'                                 
//   SET CAIMAC01='your.EZTPLS.PDS'                                 
//*------------------------------------------------------------------*  
//COMPNGO  EXEC PGM=EZTPA00                                             
//STEPLIB  DD  DISP=SHR,DSN=&STEPLIB1                                   
//EZOPTBL  DD  DISP=SHR,DSN=&EZOPTBL1                                   
//PANDD    DD  DISP=SHR,DSN=&CAIMAC01   
//SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*                                                 
//SYSOUT   DD  SYSOUT=*                                                 
//SYSIN    DD  *                                                        
*                                                                        
JOB INPUT NULL                                                          
  DISPLAY 'START MACRO TEST'                                            
  %EZPDSMAC                                                              
  DISPLAY 'END   MACRO TEST'                                            
STOP                                                                    
*                                                                        
 
result à
...
START MACRO TEST                                       
DISPLAY FROM MACRO EZPDSMAC ON your.EZTPLS.PDS     
END   MACRO TEST
