But that doesn't look as nice. :) I'm having fun with rexx today. First, I'll tell you the problem I'm trying to solve, in case theres a better way, then I'll tell you the problem I'm having in my rexx exec. Problem: I have 50 some linuxes all sending their logs to vmsysu:conlog:*linuxname. *As it gets fuller, I'd like to know which linux is spewing the most log. Right now I do a dirlist and go in to each one looking for who has the most records. I'd like to be able to total it up. Maybe even (gasp) write a report. So I start with an itty bitty rexx exec. I'm just going to look at linux1 and try to total it. With apologies to Kris for my atrocious rexx coding, here it is: totrec = 0 SET FILESP CONLOG ACCESS .LINUX1 K 'pipe (endchar ?)', 'CMS FLIST * * K (NOCLEAR | STEM SFSREC.'; Do i = 1 to sfsrec.0 parse var SFSREC.i FNAME FTYPE FMODE FRECL FLEN FREC FBLK FDT FTM totrec = totrec + FREC End say 'LINUX1 Total Records: ' totrec RELEASE K Exit; It seemed pretty simple to me. Of course it didn't work. So I tried some PIPE commands in CMS. PIPE CMS LISTF * * A | > file list a works. Creates the file named FILE LIST A However, PIPE CMS FLIST * * A | > file list a doesn't work. Doesn't put it in the file, but does display it on my screen. Normally, I'd just go with the output of listf. However, it doesn't have size info. Any suggestions? Does FLIST not work in Pipes? How would I know that? (Looked thru the rexx manual, pipes manual, cms cmds manual.) Thanks as always!
