Hi, Thanks for the prompt responses, my problem is now resolved.
SYSOUT was indeed missing as having read the Using REXX and USS manual there was an implication that WRITER replaced SYSOUT on the ALLOC statement. My second problem was exactly has Steve pointed out. I had omitted the half word prefix containing the length. I somehow seemed to have bounced over that information when perusing the manual.
