Is this a SPACE command processor from cbttape.org or something home grown? Is SPACE using TPUTS/TGETS? It might make this behavior understandable.
I know with CLIST you can send an END command. I will have to check out rexx. You may wish to post on the TSO/REXX list. They may have more ideas. Both CLIST and REXX discussed there. Along with native TSO stuff. ;-D Lizette > -----Original Message----- > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] > On Behalf Of J O Skip Robinson > Sent: Wednesday, May 06, 2015 9:48 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Did I really need a CLIST??? > > Users needed a simple way to display percentage free space on a set of > DASD volumes identified by volser prefix.
