Hello,
I have an EXEC that I wish to use to TRANS the console files from another
userid for a given period of time. I would like to check if the userid
given the EXEC actually exists.
I looked at the CMS QUERY which does stack the results, but userid is not
part of the CMS query. The
Can't you use the return code from your CP QUERY? 0 = logged on, 3 = not in
directory, 45 = in directory but not logged on...

If you want to get the output of a CP command in a REXX program use EXECIO.

Almost, but not quite. The RC=3 means invalid option. The proper form of
the query is CP QUERY USER userid, which will report not logged on for a
user that doesn't exist. Spooling your punch (after querying it to capture
the existing setting) to the target user will return RC=53 if the user
Dave: This is an example of how I do that:

Parse Source . . exnm .

Say exmsg 'Determine if a userid exists'

Well the good news is that I have been able to reproduce it. All I have
defined is the AUTHUSER and when I did the command with the RSCSAUTH
logged on MAINT got the response back to itself. I disconnected it and
tried the command and sure enough, no response to MAINT. The command
does show up in
Dave,
Here is a pipe in an exec that will do what you want.

Does RSCSAUTH have a SECUSER defined, or set?

Hello again,
Thank you for all your suggestions. I did like Kens response with the
diagrc in it. I did some testing and for simplicity I favor just checking
the return code on the CP Q userid. I had forgotten about our friend EXECIO
that stacks the output and I liked the PIPE that put the
OPERATOR is defined at the secondary user in the directory, as supplied.
But I want to clarify a couple things I have seen:
USERAUTH RSCSAUTH contains just one record
* * GENERAL
This allows TEST1 to only do a limited amount of things

Looks like WAKEUP isn't processing MSG if it is disconnected. Could this
just be a WAKEUP problem? Has anybody got this working?
Bob, if a disconnected user has a secondary user defined, and that
Aha! Sure enough that works. I should have remembered that.
This seems like a documentation problem or a distribution problem then.
The id as supplied does not work correctly because OPERATOR is there by
default. Nor does the document mention the secuser should be removed so
it will function.
With LINK, only 1 CP command s required, so why revert to DEFINE + SPOOL +
DETACH?

Hello again,
OK, I did some pondering. I wanted to suppress the CP command and SETtting
CMSTYPE of coarse did suppress it. so I used the PIPE approach. I
would hope that userids should not match literals lke DISK or NOLOG, but I
liked the 'NOT IN CP DIRECTORY' message from the spool
I've been poking around IBM's web site, trying to find out if the Tivoli
Storage Manager (TSM) server is still supported for VM. I know it
hasn't been enhanced in years. I just want to know if it's still
supported. I think the answer is no. I found these two documents:
Yes I did.
This is what I did.
copy vsm221b $ppf d = = a
add the override statements to the end of the $ppf file.
compile using VMFPPF VSM221B DFSMSVM
try to install ... vmfins install ppf vsm221b dfsmsvm (nomemo nolink
Is that the correct procedure?

if rc=53 then ... user not in CP directory

Either will work. That's just the method that popped off the top of my
head.
Sure.
I sent them to you off list.

It's workable, but I'd suggest that for what you're doing you don't
really need a separate test for valid userid. The query rdr itself will
do that. Your date checking can be streamlined as well. This would be
my solution:
/*

CP LINK userid is the best way to tell if a userid is defined in the
directory or not. CP SPOOL PUN userid will give a non-zero return code
for a userid defined in the directory with a password of NOLOG. This
information could be useful if you were trying to determine whether or no

Rather than going thru the PPF OVERRIDE route, here's what I add to the
DFSMS directory entry.
* LINK ISPVM 0192 0192 RR
* DFSMS insists on having a 192 disk
MDISK 0192 3390 T-DISK 1
DFSMS just wants to have a 192 disk. It works for me.

Yes!!! Thank you all, the secondary user was the problem. I agree with
Bob, it isn't good that it is broken when installed as documented.
It does sound like the RSCSAUTH ID should not have been defined with
a SECUSER in the directory. Will probably need to take a doc or
info APAR on this.
