<h1 class="topictitle1">Use REXX for simple lists</h1>
|
|
<div><p>This describes the format in which elements in a simple list are
|
|
passed when a command is run using REXX.</p>
|
|
<div class="section"> <div class="p">When the same command is run, the elements in a simple list are
|
|
passed to the REXX procedure in the argument string in the following format
|
|
where <samp class="codeph">valueN</samp> is the last value in the simple list.: <pre> . . . USER(value1 value2
|
|
. . . valueN) . . .</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>For example, if two user names (BJONES and TBROWN) are
|
|
specified for the USER parameter, the following is passed: </p>
|
|
<pre> . . . USER(BJONES
|
|
TBROWN) . . .</pre>
|
|
<p>When a simple list is passed, only the number of elements specified
|
|
on the command are passed. Therefore, when the CPP processes a simple list,
|
|
it uses the number of elements passed to determine how many elements can be
|
|
processed.</p>
|
|
<p>The REXX example below produces the same result as the CL
|
|
procedure in <a href="crtcmdex.htm">Example: Create a command</a>:</p>

|

IF CT > 3 THEN user4 = WORD(user,4) else user4 = '
|
|
IF CT > 4 THEN user5 = WORD(user,5) else user5 = '
|
|
IF CT > 5 THEN
|
|
DO
|
|
/* If CT is greater than 5, the values passed
|
|
is greater than the program expects, and error
|
|
logic should be performed */
|
|
.
|
|
.
|
|
.
|
|
END
|
|
ELSE
|
|
DO

</div>
|
|
<p>This same procedure can be used to process other lists in a REXX
|
|
program.</p>
|
|
<p>For a simple list, a single value such as *ALL or *NONE can
|
|
be entered on the command instead of the list. Single values are passed as
|
|
an individual value. Similarly, if no values are specified for a parameter,
|
|
the default value, if any is defined, is passed as the only value in the list.
|
|
For example, if the default value *ALL is used for the USER parameter, the
|
|
following is passed: </p>
|
|
<pre> . . . USER(*ALL) . . .</pre>
|
|
<p>If no default value is defined for an optional simple list
|
|
parameter, the following is passed: </p>
|
|
<pre> . . . USER() . . .</pre>
