Hello,
.
I need some clarification on using the ISPF VGET Service in an Assembler
Program, the examples I've found were not much help.
.
.
I have a CLIST which issues a VPUT for three Fields
Name, City, STATE. These variable are placed on the SHARED POOL.
The CLIST then invokes an Assembler Program which should issue a VGET
for the three variables and write them to a VSAM dataset.
.
In the examples I found I never see the Variables for the VGET defined
in the program.
.
I suspect I need to first issue a VDEFINE, with a Name List, Variable
list, Format List and Length List prior to issuing the VGET.
.
THE VGET SERVICE only identifies a name-list like
NAME-LIST EQU *
DC A(3)
DC A(0)
DC CL8'NAME '
DC CL8'CITY '
DC CL8'STATE'
.
Do I need to issue a VDEFINE first for the Variables specified in the VGET.
Would someone please clarify ....
.
.
Paul
