I think that the TCAST is located in Fetch protected storage. You would need authorized code to even read it. I believe that is why Netview rexx gets a null values.
Is there a problem with issuing commands??? In my opinion, it would be easier to Pipe a 'D TS' command to MVS and parse the reply for the usermax value!!! -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of Steve Horein Sent: Monday, July 08, 2019 5:39 PM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: Determine TSO USERMAX? [[ SEI WARNING *** This email was sent from an external source. Do not open attachments or click on links from unknown or suspicious senders. *** ]] Thanks Tony! My intent is to merely interrogate to ensure someone hadn't left an undesired value after a change window. Traveling down the path of CVT > TCAST > TCASUMAX using Rexx storage calls (via NetView) yields a null value. The old doc mentioned TCAST was located in "System common area", but perhaps it moved to private? Anyway, I appreciate the help!
