THANK YOU. this example [infra] of bpxbatch works very well in terms of solving my original problem/issue. but it's at the expense of making it much more complicated (imo) to process long complicated commands that go across 3 or 4 lines of input. w/ IKJEFT01, a continuation character at the end of each line ( + ) is sufficient; w/ BPXBATCH, you've got to do the " // SET PARM01= ........ " "// SET PARM02= .... " etc etc etc routine, which, to me, is much more onerous than having the output in two entities in sdsf.

I would like to second the question...I understand that the second execution is from the spawned task but is there a way to get the output to come back into the originating execution? All that being said, in your example you could use this instead: //STEPNAME EXEC PGM=BPXBATCH,PARM='SH ls -la /etc/ | cat' //STDOUT DD SYSOUT=* //STDERR DD SYSOUT=* Sean Smith -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Bonno, Tuco Sent: Monday, March 09, 2009 12:04 PM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: one IKJEFT01 job, 2 outputs in sdsf - why? cross-posting to ibm-main, mvs-oe running z/os 1.9 when I run this job: //tucopgp1 job … msgclass=x ….. //abc exec pgm=IKJEFT01 //sysexec dd disp=shr, dsn=sys1.sbpxexec //systsprt dd sysout=* //systsin dd * OSHELL ls –la /etc/ | cat the output shows up as TWO entries in sdsf each w/ the same jobname and jobid: (e.g.,) tucopgp1 job10694 ….. <tot-rec = 85 > tucopgp1 job10694 ….. <tot-rec =90 > the 90-line item is the conventional jes2 stuff (log, msg-s, jcl, systsprt) ; the 85-line item contains the output proper of the omvs “cat” command. what should I add to my jcl to have all the ouput conflated into just one item in sdsf ? thank you. /s/ tuco bonno graduate, College of Conflict Management University of Southeast Asia "I partied on the Ho Chi Minh Trail -- tiến lên !
