Tim, I haven't had a chance to try what you are attempting, at least not specifically the command, but something I stumbled upon a while back was when I wrote an SDSF enabled REXX, I tried asking for something that was in the extended screen layout rather than the default screen layout. Is it possible that what you are asking for is on the extended screen layout, the one you get by typing ? in the command line? If so, did your previous user have access to that screen?

Never supply UserID/PASSWORD information. Tim, I have a REXX exec I use to issue operator commands using the ISFSLASH keyword and writes the output to a temp file. I think I may have stole it then enhanced it for my use either from IBM, or someone on this list, but the processing of the ISFULOG array is somewhat more complicated than you have listed. I am posting the entire exec for you to play with, along with the JCL I use to execute. You can have as many commands as you want in SYSIN. //VARYOFF EXEC PGM=IKJEFT1B,PARM='%OPERCMDB' //SYSEXEC DD DSN=your.sysexec.dataset,DISP=SHR //SYSTSIN DD DUMMY //SYSTSPRT DD DUMMY //SYSIN DD *,SYMBOLS=JCLONLY RO *ALL,V &TARGUCB.,OFFLINE /* /* REXX */ /* this REXX exec will issue operator commands via SDSF REXX interface security is based on the person using the command. this exec is to be used for batch only */ 'EXECIO * DISKR SYSIN (STEM mycmd.
