I can issue some JES commands through RSCS from a VM system. Is there a way to tell JES (zOS 2.4) to send a “end of response” message?
Example: I can query RSCS and know when the end of the asynchronous response is. CP SMSG RSCS (MT.) QUERY LINKS the (..) modifier tells RSCS to format the responses differently allowing an automated process to know when the response is complete instead of waiting an arbitrary amount of time and guessing. CP SMSG RSCS CMD MVS $DJ1-*,JM=MINE* JES dutifully replies, a line at a time but short of seeing no more text arriving there’s no way to know the response is complete. That command may take a few seconds to run, and an automated process may incorrectly say “no response”. Sure, increase the time out, but then it waits unnecessarily long at the end to see if anything else is arriving.
