Hi , I need to develop some panel in mainframe. I have one program in
Cobol. I need to pass some parameters through this panel and need to
call the cobol program, let me know if you have any info on this.
Thanks

The ISPF Guide has plenty of info on this, including Cobol samples.

But what does that have to do with REXX?

Read up on Dialog Management services and on Dialog Tag Language. You
will need to specify the SELECT service in you panel in order to call
your program with the proper parameters.

I'd suggest that you subscribe to the ISPF-L mailing list and post any
questions there.

It's not clear whether you mean running a rexx exec which gets some
info from a panel, and then calls a cobol program, or something else.

You most likely need to read the ispf services manual (to find out how
to design a panel and call it), and/or to look at some of the panels in
your system to see what they do.

It's not clear how you need/want to pass those values to your cobol
program either - you'll need to tell us more if you want suitable help.

If on the other hand you want the cobol program to display the panel
then this has nothing at all to do with rexx, and your query would be
better on an ispf newsgroup, eg: bit.listserv.ispf-l
