Re: Net.data Macro Library List

[Peter_Vidal@xxxxxxxx]

Good morning Don:

We do things in different manners over here but I have been asking myself 
the same question and I got a little break and looked at the manual.  I 
found this and even though I have not tried it, is worth it to test it:

EXEC_PATH
This path configuration statement identifies one or more directories that 
Net.Data searches for an external program that is invoked by the EXEC 
statement or an executable variable. If the program is found, the external 
program name is appended to the path specification, resulting in a fully 
qualified file name that is passed to the language environment for 
execution.

Syntax:
EXEC_PATH [=] path1;path2;...;pathn

Example: The following example shows the EXEC PATH statement in the 
initialization file and the EXEC statement in the macro that invokes an
external program.

Net.Data initialization file:
EXEC_PATH /qsys.lib/programs.lib;/qsys.lib/rexx.lib/rexxpgms.file;

Net.Data macro:
%FUNCTION(DTW_REXX) myFunction() {
%EXEC{ myFunction.mbr %}
%}

If the file myFunction.mbr is found in the 
/qsys.lib/rexx.lib/rexxpgms.file directory, the qualified name of the 
program is /qsys.lib/rexx.lib/rexxpgms.file/myFunction.mbr.

If the file is not found in the directories specified in the EXEC_PATH 
statement:
* If the specified path is absolute, Net.Data searches for the file in the 
specified path. For example, if the following EXEC statement were 
specified:

%EXEC{/qsys.lib/programs.lib/rpg1.pgm %}

Net.Data would search for the file rpg1.pgm in the /qsys.lib/programs.lib 
directory.
* If the specified path is relative, Net.Data searches the current working 
directory. For example, if the following EXEC statement were specified:

%EXEC { rpg1.pgm %}

then Net.Data would attempt to find the file rpg1.pgm in the current 
working directory.
