Do you expect the response to your commands to be sent back over the NJE line to the originating system? If so, I doubt there is a way to accomplish this.
Did you have a look at the syslog of the target system? System commands supplied via JCL/JECL are executed as soon as they are read by JESx. They're not synchronized with the execution of the job that contained the commands in its JCL stream. If you need the command response, I suggest you use a "command" program and run it via EXEC PGM=. The command response will then be captured in the job's joblog and will be returned to the originating system. I'm sure you can find such utilities on the CBT tape. -- Peter Hunkeler CREDIT SUISSE ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
