Getting a RC -2 from ADDRESS LINKPGM when REXX invoked from another REXX program

  • 1.  Getting a RC -2 from ADDRESS LINKPGM when REXX invoked from another REXX program

    I "borrowed" the LPINFOX REXX program from this url: http://www.longpelaexpertise.com/toolsLPinfoX.php

    When I run it "directly" (EX 'hlq.LPINFOX.EXEC') it runs fine:

    I inserted a call to the LPINFOX exec into another exec, and this results in a RC -2 from the address LINKPGM call:

    I did an EXECUTIL TS prior to the exec and this is what is output:
    EXECUTIL Output when running called from TEST1
    When LPINFOX is run "directly" this is the EXECUTIL TS output:
    EXECUTIL Output when running from the command line
    In this case, the address LINKPGM works fine.

    I'm sure this has to do with the second level of REXX program running, but what can I do about the error?

    Thanks,
    Scott

    I tried altering the program called from IWMQVS to IEFBR14 (to see if there was something specific to IWMQVS), but the same issue occurs:
