Doug, As I mentioned earlier you don't need REXX to get the MVS variables. DFSORT is quite capable of reading the SYSTEM symbols. If your system has all the symbols defined, then you can use the following DFSORT JCL //STEP0100 EXEC PGM=SORT //SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=* //SYMNOUT DD SYSOUT=* //SYMNAMES DD * SYM01,S'&SYSAPPCLU' SYM02,S'&SYSDFP' SYM03,S'&SYSMVS' SYM04,S'&SYSNAME' SYM05,S'&SYSOPSYS' SYM06,S'&SYSSECLAB' SYM07,S'&SYSSMFID' SYM08,S'&SYSSMS' SYM09,S'&SYSCLONE' SYM10,S'&SYSPLEX' //SORTIN DD * ABC //SORTOUT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSIN DD * OPTION COPY OUTFIL BUILD=(C'SYSAPPCLU IS : ',SYM01,/, C'SYSDFP IS : ',SYM02,/, C'SYSMVS IS : ',SYM03,/, C'SYSNAME IS : ',SYM04,/, C'SYSOPSYS IS : ',SYM05,/, C'SYSSECLAB IS : ',SYM06,/, C'SYSSMFID IS : ',SYM07,/, C'SYSSMS IS : ',SYM08,/, C'SYSCLONE IS : ',SYM09,/, C'SYSPLEX IS : ',SYM10) /* https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/zos/3.1.0?topic=ss-symbol-statements Thanks, Kolusu DFSORT Development IBM Corporation ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
