The may be a better way, but when I did it I did it like this: <snip> "CP SMSG RSCS (ML."signature") QUERY FILES ON" printer "SHOW ID", "FROMUSER FILENAME FILETYPE CLASS STATUS RECORDS RECSDONE FORM" </snip> ... <snip> /**********************************************************************/ /* Receive the response from RSCS. */ /**********************************************************************/ wait = "00:00:25" message_number = "0000" do forever seconds1 = time(seconds) "WAKEUP +"wait "(IUCVMSG QUIET" if rc = 2 | rc = 6 then leave seconds2 = time(seconds) new_wait = seconds2 - seconds1 + 5 wait = "00:00:"||right(new_wait,2,0) parse pull . . . message_number message_line . m_sig mtype, message_text if m_sig ¬= signature then iterate message_line = strip(message_line,l,0) if mtype = "H1" | left(message_text,5) == " Link" then message_text = delstr(message_text,1,1) if message_number = "0001" then leave else do recs = recs + 1 line.recs = message_text end end </snip>

Here is a snippet from an experimental REXX EXEC. The results from the query are displayed back at my terminal and the @HowMany variable is always zero. Any ideas? Check_Links: 'pipe cp smsg RSCS query links | stem @Rec. ' @HowMany = @Rec.0 Say "HowMany" @HowMany Do x = 1 to @HowMany . . .
