Larry, He is using CP SIGNAL, hence the HCPSIG... messages he's trying to wait for. That's easy to overlook when we only see part of the code.

Larry From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Martin, Terry R. (CMS/CTR) (CTR) Sent: Tuesday, October 07, 2008 4:41 PM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: Need some help with REXX EXEC Hi I am trying to write a REXX exec to shutdown my z/Linux guests. I am having trouble figuring out a couple of things: 'MAKEBUF' RC = 0 DO FOREVER; /* WILL GET MESSAGES UNTIL GUEST DOWN */ 'WAKEUP (IUCVMSG QUIET' /* MESSAGE HAS ARRIVED */ PARSE PULL MSG /* GET RETURNED MESSAGE*/ /* PARSE VAR MSG TYPE F1 F2 MSGID F3 GUEST REST */ IF RC = 6 THEN /*IF RC = 5 & TYPE = '*CP', */ /* & (MSGID = 'HCPSIG2113I'| MSGID = 'HCPSIG2112I') THEN */ DO IF FUNCTION = 'SHUTDOWN' THEN First, I am not seeing the Shutdown message coming back to the BUFFER (MAKEBUF). I would like to parse the message to make sure it is the message I am looking for. I did a QUEUED on the BUFFER and there was nothing on the STACK. Any ideas why or even if this message should/is not coming back to the BUFFER? Second, After I receive the HCPSIG2112I message that says the guest has been shutdown, and I check and it has, but instead of dropping into the code it just sits there in RUNNING and I need to hit the ENTER key to get going again. Is there something I need or can do to simulate the ENTER KEY. Note: All of the code is not shown here!
