How to cpature PDF message - ISRM018

Post by banupriyab » Tue Jun 18, 2013 3:16 pm

Hi,
I have a REXX code that lists all members in a PDS starting with "ABC" in view mode.

ISPEXEC "VIEW DATAID("DATID") MEMBER("MEMBR")"
where MEMBR = 'ABC*' - "* wild char specified"

But if there are No matches, ISPEXEC issues message and comes out of the code. I need to continue further processing like below.

if return_message = 'ISRM018' then
set another_PDS name
ISPEXEC "VIEW DATAID("DATID") MEMBER("MEMBR")"

how to capture the ISRM018 message and continue processing?

In other words how to check before ISPFEXEC, whether members starting with "ABC" (MEMBR = "ABC*") are available in the PDS.

Have you looked at library services?
