Try adding the following lines to your test exec after the ISFCALLS statement :
Rc=ISFQUERY("INIT")
Say "Prefix="isfprefix " Owner="isfowner " Dest="isfdest " JES="isfjesname
This will show you the contents of the special variables that are active.
Prefix, Dest and Owner settings being different from expectations explains most
of the issues with "no rows" using SDSF REXX.
Note that when a SDSF REXX is invoked via the "%" action, the values of these
variables are inherited from your current SDSF session, however if the exec is
executed outside of a current SDSF session (eg from option 6 (TSO)), then these
values reflect the defaults assigned from the SDSF group and security rules.

Lionel and I have been communicating about his very nice SDSFXDD, because it
wasn't working for me.
For me it only finds jobs whose jobname starts with your userid. If I have jobs
in O queue:
NP JOBNAME JobID Owner Prty C Forms Dest Tot-Rec
PHS1 JOB04436 PHS 144 A STD LOCAL 7
PHS1 JOB04436 PHS 144 A STD LOCAL 1,094
VSH1 JOB04440 PHS 144 A STD LOCAL 7
VSH1 JOB04440 PHS 144 A STD LOCAL 1,094
and I create a trivial test program:
/* REXX */
trace r
arg j
rc=isfcalls('ON')
address SDSF "ISFEXEC ST" j
say 'RC from ISFEXEC ST' j 'was' rc';' jname.0 'jobs found'
Run against VSH1 it finds nothing; against PHS1 it works (finds the job).
Meanwhile, if I do ST VSH1 in SDSF, I see:
NP JOBNAME JobID Owner Prty Queue C Pos
VSH1 JOB09766 RAW 1 PRINT A 58
VSH1 JOB09767 RAW 1 PRINT A 59
VSH1 JOB09768 RAW 1 PRINT A 60
VSH1 JOB09769 RAW 1 PRINT A 61
VSH1 JOB09781 RAW 1 PRINT A 62
VSH1 JOB09782 RAW 1 PRINT A 63
VSH1 JOB04440 PHS 1 PRINT A 101
It isn't getting confused by those other jobs, because if I run XYZZY and then
try my trivial test (or SDSFXDD) against that, I get nothing as well. I did
think I had seen something at one point that said "Jobnames starting with PHS"
but now I can't find wherever that was.
Anyone know what's going on here? Our system is very vanilla, no fancy
exits/program products beyond RACF involved here.
