This is a curiosity. I ran your code (after setting a value to volnbr
and rmmcmd.volnbr) and the
value of rmmout.1 was:
EDG3201I THE ENTRY IS NOT DEFINED TO DFSMSrmm
I'm not sure I understand the scenario shown in your trace results where
rmmout.1 could be equal
to null while rmmout.0 is equal to 0. I realize you've snipped the REXX
a little, but I tried
and failed to force that result (using "DROP rmmout." or "rmmout. =
''").
I guess that's no help, sorry.

Subject: Rexx Question
I am issuing a Listdataset RMM command, which worked yester. Today I get
a rc of zero but no output. The actual that is issued is contained in
the above comment. I sure would like to know what went wrong.
Code:
/* RMM LD 'TSTPRB.$.TESTTAPE' VOL(V59019) */
x = Outtrap("rmmout.")
Address TSO ""rmmcmd.volnbr""
lcc = rc
x = Outtrap("OFF")
If lcc \= 0 Then Do
lmsg = "RMM LD command failed. RC="lcc
CMDERR:
smsg = "Command Error"
Call Do_Msg
Signal EXIT /* Exit with
End /* Do */
rmmlines = rmmout.0
TRACE Output:
77 *-* /* RMM LD 'TSTPRB.$.TESTTAPE' VOL(V59019) */
78 *-* x = Outtrap("rmmout.")
>L> "rmmout."
>F> "RMMOUT."
79 *-* Address TSO ""rmmcmd.volnbr""
>L> ""
>C> "RMMCMD.1"
>V> "RMM LD 'TSTPRB.$.TESTTAPE' VOL(V59019)"
>O> "RMM LD 'TSTPRB.$.TESTTAPE' VOL(V59019)"
>L> ""
>O> "RMM LD 'TSTPRB.$.TESTTAPE' VOL(V59019)"
80 *-* lcc = rc
>V> "0"
81 *-* x = Outtrap("OFF")
>L> "OFF"
>F> "OFF"
82 *-* If lcc := 0
>V> "0"
>L> "0"
>O> "0"
89 *-* Say rmmout.1
>V> ""
90 *-* rmmlines = rmmout.0
>V> "0"
92 *-* items = 0
>L> "0"
93 *-* Do cnt = 1 To rmmlines
>L> "1"
>V> "0"
131 *-* End /* Do volnbr = 1 To volcnt */
