Forgot to point out that the SDSF Rexx documentation is now in the SDSF User Guide manual rather than the Operation and Customization Guide.

Long ago I wrote a SDSF API Rexx exec to extract spool files, based on (its comments): See (strangely enough): Document Number SA22-7670-11 #12.0 "z/OS V1R10.0 SDSF Operation and Customization" 12.0 Using SDSF with the REXX programming language Alas, that chapter appears not to exist in the current doc. It's agnostic: operating alike from UNIX shell, IRXJCL, or as an Edit macro from the command line of an SDSF display. In the last case it finds the job ID by parsing ZSCREEN (Pedro Vera's suggestion -- is there a better way?) It uses ISFCALLS(ON) but no ISFCALLS(OFF) (should I expect something bad on that account?) Lots of ADDRESS SDSF; no ISFQUERY() nor CONNECT. Am I missing out on much? Is this running "under SDSF" or otherwise? -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ================================ Rocket Software, Inc. and subsidiaries ? 77 Fourth Avenue, Waltham MA 02451 ?
