Hi Gerhard, Is there any specific reason you want to make use of a script? Seeing that Tim Williams already answered your question you should in any case look at doing what you want in a different way. What we do - which will give you exactly what you are trying to achieve right now - is to run a batch job with IKJEFT01 utility - making use of an admin cmd line - and issue the QUERY SYSTEM > DSM.OUTPUT.QSYSTEM command.
Let me know if there is something specific I'm missing in this case - else play around with batch jobs that can be scheduled or run on demand. Cheers Christo --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello all, I found questions like this in the archives, but no answers...... One more try => I want to run a script, where one line should look like this: QUERY SYSTEM > DSM.OUTPUT.QSYSTEM where DSM.OUTPUT.QSYSTEM is a S390 Filename I want to take to the OFFSITE Location. (This Command works great on the command line, but I want to have it in a script!) However - I tried to do it like this: def script test desc='Test' upd script test "QUERY SYSTEM > DSM.OUTPUT" Result: ANR1454I DEFINE SCRIPT: Command script TEST defined. ANR2002E Missing closing quote character. ANS8001I Return code 3. Any hints how to route an output to a file in a script ? I guess, the problem is, that TSM wants to direct the Output of the Update Stmt to a file - and when doing this, one quote is missing, of course We are running TSM 3.7.5 on S390 (I know, not supported, but I guess this should work on all versions) Regards Gerhard Wolkerstorfer ______________________________________________ "The information contained in this communication is confidential and may be legally privileged.
