Slight clarification; appropriate in the sense that if the LINK and LINKMVS environments are available in SysRexx and if JOBZWAIT handles the documented parameter lists for those environments then those are the correct forms. ________________________________________ From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@listserv.ua.edu> on behalf of Seymour J Metz <sme...@gmu.edu> Sent: Sunday, January 21, 2018 2:21 PM To: IBM-MAIN@listserv.ua.edu Subject: Re: SysRexx and WAIT program not working
No. address LINKMVS "JOBZWAIT wait_value", address LINK "JOBZWAIT" 120 and address LINK "JOBZWAIT" wait_value are appropriate, but not address LINKMVS "JOBZWAIT" wait_value. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

You want "JOBZWAIT 120", not "JOBZWAIT wait_value". It looks as though LINKMVS isn't available in your environment. --- If the REXX exec uses the ADDRESS name instruction, and the value name in not in the table, no error is detected. However, when the language processor tries to locate the entry in the table to pass a command and no corresponding entry is found, the language processor returns with a return code of -3, which indicates an error condition. --- It says to use IRXSUBCM to query the host command name, but since you would normally run that with LINKMVS, I don't see how you can. Are you sure that JOBZWAIT is in your tasklib?
