Hi, You don't say which release you are, but from 1.9 onwards, you should be able to use the "'" option if you use the ISFAFD program to invoke batch SDSF.
The following is an example: //EXECSSID EXEC PGM=ISFAFD //ISFOUT DD SYSOUT=* //ISFIN DD * / ++<='SETPROG APF,ADD,'><='DSN=PSDB2.PERM.SBD1.SDSNEXIT,SMS'> The syntax should be in the manuals Best regards, David Tidy Tel:(31)115-67-1745 IS Technical Management/SAP-Mf Fax:(31)115-67-1762 Dow Benelux B.V.

However, I find that the total command exceeds the size that one can issue on SDSF command line. Is there a way to issue a slash in SDSF batch to get to the System Command Extention? In the example below, the closing backet ) is truncated. //REMVLF EXEC PGM=SDSF,COND=(0,NE) //ISFOUT DD SYSOUT=* //ISFIN DD * /RO *ALL,F CATALOG,NOVLF(CATL.USER0.ALPLEX) ISF015I SDSF COMMAND EXECUTED 'RO *ALL,F CATALOG,NOVLF (CATL.USER0.ALPLEX ' ABRW005 BATCH BATCH RO *ALL,F CATALOG,NOVLF(CATL.USER0.ALPLEX RO T=030,AL01,F CATALOG,NOVLF(CATL.USER0.ALPLEX RO T=030,AL02,F CATALOG,NOVLF(CATL.USER0.ALPLEX -ABRW005C REMVLF 00 133 297 .00 .00 .0 450 BATCH 0 0 0 0 F CATALOG,NOVLF(CATL.USER0.ALPLEX IEC351I CATALOG ADDRESS SPACE MODIFY COMMAND ACTIVE IEC353I CATALOG ADDRESS SPACE MODIFY UNSUCCESSFUL IEC353I INVALID COMMAND FORMAT F CATALOG,NOVLF(CATL.USER0.ALPLEX IEC351I CATALOG ADDRESS SPACE MODIFY COMMAND ACTIVE IEC353I CATALOG ADDRESS SPACE MODIFY UNSUCCESSFUL IEC353I INVALID COMMAND FORMAT ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
