No, but you're overlooking "TSO commands" and "but use service routines"; it's the service routines for GETLINE, PUTGET and PUTLINE that do GET from SYSTSIN and PUT to SYSTSPRT, never the TSO command. See z/OS TSO/E Programming Service Version 2 Release 3, SA32-0973-30, "Using the TSO/E I/O service routines for terminal I/O" on p. 189. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

The thing I find brilliant in UNIX design is (accidentally) implied by the first three letters: a oneness. Things work the same in foreground and batch. There's no TGET versus LINEIN versus SYSTSIN versus SYSTERM versus SYSIN versus ... There were few enough designers that that they could reach a consensus. Maybe it's Brooks's fault for underrating timesharing. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
