Yeah, very sorry, doing too many thing at once. SYSCALLS("ON") fails with a -3. I don't know that there is much relevant context. It is about the third line of executable Rexx. Yes, with an "S".
So therefore subsequent SYSCALL "whatever" fails. (No "S".) The key question: Is this to be expected in a "legacy" batch environment? If not, what should I look for? ADDRESS SYSCALL "some syscall command" works. That's what I am using, successfully.

For a SWAG, are you clear that the function name is syscalls (with an 's'), and command environment name is SYSCALL (no 's')? sas On Tue, Jun 28, 2022 at 3:45 PM Charles Mills <charl...@mcn.org> wrote: > I was not super clear, was I?
