Here is part of some code I have to capture output from commands to put in the file to browse.
If Substr(CMDINPUT,1,2) = 'SM' Then do 'pipe cp q s |', /* Q SET to get current MSG setting */ 'split string /,/ |', /* Split at the comma */ 'take 1 |', /* First line contains setting */ 'var msg_setting' /* Store in variable */ 'CP SET MSG IUCV' /* Force incoming messages to IUCV */ 'pipe STARMSG 'CMDINPUT, /* Issue command using STARMSG */ '| specs 17-* 1', /* Drop the first 16 chars */ '| stem cap1.', /* Ouput the data to the stem */ '| literal +3 | delay', /* Delay for 3 seconds to get stuff */ '| PIPESTOP' /* Force the pipe stage to end */ 'CP SET' msg_setting /* Reset msg to what it was */ 'pipe stem cap1. | > CAP TEXT A' /* Put the output in a file */ 'browse CAP TEXT A' /* Browse the file */ exit RC /* Exit the routine */ End Paul Feller AIT Mainframe Technical Support -----Original Message----- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:ib...@listserv.uark.edu] On Behalf Of Wandschneider, Scott Sent: Monday, March 23, 2009 11:54 AM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: RSCS Query I would like to issue an RSCS QUERY LINKS and "queue" the results so I can spin through the response looking for information.
