> I think in TSO/ISPF Option 6 you can enter BPXMTEXT EF096058
"BPXMTEXT" is a rexx that resides in SYS1.SBPXEXEC. Provided you have this library in the SYSPROC or SYSEXEC contcatenation of your TSO forground or batch JCL, you can issue "TSO BPXMTEXT xxxxxxxx" from any TSO command prompt, ISPF command line, or other REXX program. Note that it is also a z/OS UNIX shell command, so simply use "bpxmtext xxxxxxxx" in a shell session (watch the case!). It is sometimes worth giving it a try when you get some 8 character reson code or err info code in some context which does not look like z/OS UNIX in the first place, such as TCP/IP messages. Can tell a sample fro the top of my head but I remember to have been able to quickly answer the question "what the h* is this message telling me". It may, however, give you falls answers in case the reason code happens to look like a z/OS UNIX cod when it it not. So be carefull. -- Peter Hunkeler ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
