It's crude, but I have a similar goal, I just threw this D R,R and System Rexx parse together.
/* rexx */ CmdResult=AXRCMD('D R,R','v.',10); /* do i = 1 to v.0 */ /* say i v.i */ /* end */ if v.3 <> "NO MESSAGES OUTSTANDING" then do parse var v.1 iee112i_key iee112i_time iee112i_pending_requests_idr /* say iee112i_key iee112i_time iee112i_pending_requests_idr */ parse var v.2 iee112i_rm iee112i_im iee112i_cem iee112i_em iee112i_ir iee112i_amrf /* say iee112i_rm iee112i_im iee112i_cem em iee112i_ir iee112i_amrf */ parse var v.3 iee112i_id iee112i_ts iee112i_sys iee112i_jb iee112i_idd iee112i_msg iee112i_txt /* say iee112i_id iee112i_ts iee112i_sys iee112i_jb iee112i_idd iee112i_msg iee112i_txt */ r = 1 do i = 4 to v.0 /* say i v.i */ r.0 = r parse var v.i iee112i_reply_id.r iee112i_type.r iee112i_system.r iee112i_job.r iee112i_msg_txt.r say r iee112i_reply_id.r iee112i_type.r iee112i_system.r iee112i_job.r iee112i_msg_txt.r r = r + 1 end end else say 'No outstanding replies' say 'exiting' exit(0) > -----Original Message----- > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> On > Behalf Of Tony Thigpen > Sent: Tuesday, February 11, 2020 5:31 AM > To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU > Subject: Finding and replying to outstanding reply > > We have an in-house written automated shutdown program that does > everything but shutdown NPF.
