I had this problem with multi-line output from JES2 commands (e.g. $DSPOOL). I was only getting the first line of the output. I opened an incident with IBM and eventually we came up with the solution. I had to recursively re-issue the AXRCMD command, minus the actual command itself. I went ahead and tried this with a "D NET" command to see if this solution would work the same way. Following is the system REXX code I used for the test. Following that, is the results clipped out of the system log. I used the AXRWTO to just redisplay the command output instead of parsing it out into variables. ==================================================== System Rexx Code (QUERYTST): /* REXX */ NUMERIC DIGITS 4 mycmd1 = 'D NET,ID=TRLDC,E' result1 = AXRCMD(mycmd1,netvar.,10); If result1 = 0 Then Do While result1 = 0 If netvar.0 > 1 Then Do linenum = 1 to netvar.0 CALL AXRWTO 'System Rexx output line #'linenum netvar.linenum End result1 = AXRCMD(,netvar.,4) <==recursive to get all lines End Else CALL AXRWTO 'D NET command failed. RC=' result1 Exit 00 ==================================================== Output from System Rexx EXEC (QUERYTST) @QUERYTST D NET,ID=TRLDC,E IST097I DISPLAY ACCEPTED IST075I NAME = TRLDC, TYPE = TRL MAJOR NODE 911 IST1314I TRLE = TRLDCA STATUS = ACTIV CONTROL = MPC IST314I END System Rexx output line #1 IST075I NAME = TRLDC, TYPE = TRL MAJOR NODE System Rexx output line #2 IST1314I TRLE = TRLDCA STATUS = ACTIV CONTROL = MPC System Rexx output line #3 IST314I END ==================================================== As you can see, I was able to capture all lines from the "D NET" command and then redisplay them. I hope this helps. Mike Schmutzok

I neglected to mention that I am using a 30 second time on the getmsg. However, it still comes back with just the initial 'accepted' msg. I understand this time to be a maximum wait time and not a hard wait time. As for system rexx, I'm not sure how that would change this behavior. Bruce Hello list, I have a rexx that issues console commands and writes the responses to a dd after using getmsg to retrieve the response. Everything is good for MVS commands and JES2 commands if L=Z is included. Is there a similar option for VTAM commands? For D NET,<options>, I am only getting: IST097I DISPLAY ACCEPTED I've tried adding the CART parameter to my emcs console and the getmsg with same results.
