I know this is brute force, but would it work to simply cancel NPF? Rex
-----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> On Behalf Of Tony Thigpen Sent: Tuesday, February 11, 2020 7:31 AM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: [External] Finding and replying to outstanding reply We have an in-house written automated shutdown program that does everything but shutdown NPF. That is because NPF leaves an open reply message during start-up to which I must replay xx,STOP to make it shutdown. Within our shutdown program, I would like it to programmatically find the outstanding reply number so that it can issue the correct response. Can someone point me to any doc or examples that will help me get started on this? Some items: The shutdown program is assembler. I have SysREXX running with a valid MPF exit to call it. I would prefer to do it all within the assembler program instead of using MPF/SysREXX.
