How can the programmer specify FORMS, DESTINATION, WRITER, FCB, etc. with SYSOUT? Such flexibility would be intrinsic if there were an OUTDD() option. I hope it's not another case where "There was no such decision made; the designers never considered OUTDD." Lately, I tried an "address TSO HLIST" command from a Rexx EXEC run under Unix System Services and got no output nor error message. What happened to it? (If I intentionally introduce a syntax error, I get an error message such as: "IKJ56712I INVALID KEYWORD ...", but never output from a valid command. Can I OUTTRAP output from HLIST? I had suspected some of the misbehavior could arise if HLIST runs in a separate address space, but I tried HLIST ODS(dsname) while I held an ENQ EXC on dsname, and it worked fine. What's really happening here? -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
