Re: CP FOR through vmcp?

Hi,

Thanks for all the replies. However, what I take away is

> vmcp would need enhancements to  ...


Most of the code I write is driven from Linux, so it can issue CP commands
but cannot run CMS commands, thus any REXX EXEC.

Have any of the vmcp developers heard this requirement before?

 So something in CP generates what looks like a MSGNOH response.

 Presumably that also means that CP FOR and pipes STARMSG don't
 interoperate?

CP FOR through vmcp?

[Michael MacIsaac]

Hello lists,

I can use CP FOR to run a command on another user ID and I get back the
output in a normal CMS session:

  for engzs01 cmd q cplevel
  ENGZS01  : z/VM Version 6 Release 4.0, service level 1802 (64-bit)
  ENGZS01  : Generated at 03/11/20 13:28:04 EDT
  ENGZS01  : IPL at 03/11/20 14:20:57 EDT
  ENGZS01  : HCPFOR069I Command Complete.  CP return code = .

But when I try this from Linux:

  # sudo vmcp for engzs01 cmd q cplevel

I get no output.  Is there any way to persuade vmcp to do this?

(right now I'm spooling consoles, but the code is kludgy and slow).

Thanks.
