Why would I use System REXX as shown in the sample? (was: RO command query)
If this is only system REXX issue, there is an example of using AXRMLWTO in the MVS Authorized Assembler Services Guide: http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/IEA2A881/31. 5?SHELF=IEA2BK81DT=20080120225118 While we're at it: I once more tried to understand the advantage of using System REXX in general and especially as shown in the MCSOPER example. There is an asm routine establishing an EMCS console, then calling System REXX to issue a system command, retrieving the command response and writing it back to our previously established EMCS console, finally the assembler code, after returning from System REXX reads the command response from the EMCS console. Seems like a lot of overhead and a lot more complex than necessary to me. Why not simply issue the command directly from the asm code (using MGCRE)? What (advantage) am I missing? Is anybody using System REXX? If so, what for? -- Peter Hunkeler Credit Suisse -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html

I know this is the wrong forum to discuss this, but ... I've never understood that part of IRXINIT that uses a 1-bit flag (STORFL) to control use of the STORAGE function - full read/write function or none. I can understand needeing (or at least wanting) to prevent writing using STORAGE - especially in a multi-user address space, but there should be a read-only option vailable. Yes, I know STORAGE is an external function so it would require cooperation of that external function, but the environment executing IRXINIT is the same one providing the external function. It should know whether a read-only STORAGE function is provided. I'm too near the end of my career to see this situation change, but younger folk might consider submitting a Requirement Same comment goes for System REXX.Submit a Req that the STORAGE function be enabled for System REXX. At the very least, let it be an an installation option controlled by a PARMLIB member or some such.

Re: RO command query
Tommy,
It always helps if you provide the full question rather than a partial one.
That way we can help better answer your question.
So, is this a SYSTEM REXX that you are using to route a command with and
retrieve the information? If so, when you say you get nothing back - what
does that mean? Have you used SAY statements or TRACE function in REXX to
see how the code works?
That the stem vars are empty? Or that you are seeing an error in SYSLOG for
your REXX or
Lizette
acutally, I want to display all sysplex member tape information, but
it didn't work fine. After the command issued, nothing display and the
command time out finally.
CMDRESULT=AXRCMD('RO MOSYSD,D SMS,LIB(ALL),DETAIL','OUTPUTVAR.',100);

Why the RO command does not work properly? is there any changed after

Re: RO command query
Tommy,
I realize your English may not be the best, but Lizette is correct. How
would have anyone realized your question was related to sysrexx? As
a matter of fact, you asked if anything change in z/OS 1.9 with the RO
command via SDSF.
Is this an SDSF issue or System REXX issue?
If SDSF, there could be several reasons I can think of off the top of
my head why the display doesn't come back to you. You could have
a duplicate EMCS console name in SDSF active on another LPAR
in the sysplex, your console response delay could be set at 0 or
you may not be authorized for ULOG. You control the first 2 with
SDSF settings (see the OPTIONS pull down menu). ULOG authority
comes from ISFPARMS / ISFPRMxx / security software.
If this is only system REXX issue, there is an example of using
AXRMLWTO in the MVS Authorized Assembler Services Guide:
