Hello Listers, I am having a random timing issue with a REXX that I am developing using SDSF calls. The REXX identifies the job name and number within which it is running and then attempts to use SDSF to find and process the SYSOUT datasets already created by previous steps in the job.
The REXX works most of the time, but sometimes when it runs, it fails to find itself within the returned job list. What I'm hoping to find out via this post is: 1) Does anyone know why there appears to be a delay in JES entering the job's output into the queue? 2) Has anyone ever experienced this and, if so, what did you do to get around this anomaly, if you did get around it? 3) If this is a timing issue, is anyone aware of a means by which I can cause the REXX to delay a second or two before attempting to read the queue entries for the job (name) being executed? I hope I've stated my problem sufficiently. Thanks in advance for any information you can provide.
