Data sets

There is one required DD name and two optional DD names for IRXJCL. There are many different ways to define REXX data sets. Refer to the TSO/E REXX Reference manual for more information.

IRXJCL
DD Description Access Method LRECL BLKSIZE RECFM
SYSEXEC A PDS/PDSE library that contains the REXX exec to invoke. There are many different ways to define REXX exec libraries. REXX supports fixed or variable length record formats (RECFM), various record lengths (LRECL), and all block sizes (BLKSIZE) that support the desired record format and length. The default REXX exec DCB characteristics are listed here. QSAM 80 8800 FB
SYSTSIN This is an optional DD statement which is used to provide an input stream for the REXX exec. QSAM 802 SMS1 FB3
SYSTSPRT This is an optional DD statement which is used to provide an output stream for the REXX exec. This DD will contain output and messages produced by the REXX exec including TRACE output and error messages. QSAM 802 SMS1 FB3
1 The data set is allocated with BLKSIZE=0 allowing SMS to determine the optimal block size for the device.
2 The default LRECL for SYSTSIN and SYSTSPRT is 80. This can be overridden.
3 The default RECFM for SYSTSIN and SYSTSPRT is FB. This can be overridden.
