I do this myself to execute RACF commands via the HTTPD server. Write your CGI in REXX. Issue the TSO APF authorized commands via the "address tso" environment. For example: address tso "LU userid" This will set up a parallel TSO environment in another address space and have it issue the LU command. The output from the LU command will be directed back to the CGI and can be trapped with the normal OUTTRAP command. If you don't trap the output, it is routed to "stdout" and usually appears as part of the output from the CGI. The parallel TSO environment stay around until your CGI ends or you do a "logoff" command. So all the overhead is usually only done once per CGI. Remember that to have the TSO command run as APF authorized, it must be linked into an APF library with an AC(1) and must also appear in the IKJTSOxx member of PARMLIB. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer UICI Insurance Center Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its content is protected by law.
