Mark, Your CLIST is almost identical to my REXX exec. Except I have to push the TSOLIB command onto the stack as it won't run under rexx, even with an address TSO in front, and I therefore also push ISPF as well. I tried typing in your commands at the TSO ready prompt. Still no joy

OK, by now you see the potential problem. If you're running OS/390 V2R10's IPCS, you haven't stopped running OS/390 on your machine. Which means you wouldn't be eligible for sub-capacity licensing. That is of course not correct. IPCS (the dump viewing program for z/OS) is distributed in
