TSO Rexx does not support multiple tasks executing simultaneously. The "ATTACH*" functions do attach a new task, but your attaching Rexx waits synchronously for the attached task to complete.

I'm looping some 5000 times in REXX and doing functions (NetView ping, SNMP walk, etc) sequentially. They don't necessarily need to be sequential. I'm just going through a list of printers and I want to test them. So.. Is it possible that I make the first run a data run - reading parameters from files for each printer (reading PDS member) - and the second run as a thread creator of sorts. Each thread going off to test one printer. The first run should be almost instantaneous. My thinking is.. Is it possible to parallelly do the pinging and SNMP connection bits. It would cut 20 minutes runtime to just a couple. -- This message and any attachments are intended only for the use of the addressee and may contain information that is privileged and confidential.
