Well there are asynchronous tasks running here. If you are using starmsg, you should use a unique identifier for each command issued to RSCS and not rely on that end of command response. You want to see all the messages like: DMTCMY154I Link LPR autostart disabled DMTLPR570I Link LPR now set to deactivate DMTLPR183I Link LPR session terminated DMTMAN002I Link LPR deactivated DMTAXM109I File queue reordered Best Regards, Les Geer IBM z/VM and Linux Development
