The way you do this in GCS is exactly the way NetView does it: by using a "secondary programmed operator" ACB (APPL AUTH=SPO) to talk to VTAM and get responses. An example of such a program is VTAMOP, a VTAM/GCS application written by Bob Pesner back in the 80s and published on VMSHARE. The nice thing was that it accepted SMSGs, could handle simultaneous commands from multiple users, and you could apply your own authorizations. A copy is available in the VMSHARE archives at http://vm.marist.edu/~vmshare/browse?fn=VTAMOP&ft=NOTE. Not knowing what you want to do with the output (hand to human, process by program, ...), it's somewhat difficult to know whether VTAMOP is what you need. Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott
