John,
I think I've finally got a clue about this. I had to go over there and
see for myself before I could figure out what they really wanted.
It's relatively simple. They create an ASCII PDF from SAS and want to
print it. It goes through VPS to their network printer and is being

Another option is to getmain your storage once, and anchor it somewhere for
later use. TCBUSER or a name/token pair are two obvious choices. You can
also create a variable inside your rexx exec, from the assembler program,
with your anchor and grab it each time your function gets called, assuming

I agree 100%.
I was sending SCRT reports to an ISV that used them.
But, I always reviewed them before they went.
I also attached the CSV to an XL spreadsheet, so I could plot and compare
month-to-month.

Lindy,
For testing purposes steplib is probably OK but I would suggest that
giving everyone a steplib is going to hurt in response

I did ask specifically about that! Now that you have it set to TRAP(ON),
you ought to at least give the try/catch thing a go again. It seems to
me more likely to "work" with less
I know you did, I remember! I have no idea how I missed it. Too much glue

TRAP() in the server JCL and not the client JCL. Who knows.
Anyway, you present a good idea. I will try the try/catch again real quick
to see if it
Thanks everyone!
Can someone give a hint what is meant by "anchor" in this case?

If it is called several times it will save you several GETMAIN/FREEMAIN for

If you have an address to something, there may be a case where you need to
store that address in a known location that is available to other
programs/processes/etc.
This is what "anchor" means. It is the process of storing this address in a
known location so that it is available for other programs

In the examples cited previously, if you store the address using the

Yea, I was going to mention using TCBUSER is dangerous, since it's eyed by
everybody lookin for an anchor, but I didn't think this particular point was
