There are some good use cases for zCX but as a development environment you might as well use Linux running on a cheaper platform such as on your PC either native or virtual. Z/OS UNIX is tightly integrated with z/OS so is more useful than zCX, IMO. > On 11 May 2023, at 3:04 pm, Mario Bezzi >

I think you're out of luck. The normal method would be to retrieve variable ZERRMSG, which gives you the message id. But ISPF only sets ZERRMSG if the ISPF service returns a return code of 8 or higher. Saving a data set isn't an error, so it doesn't set ZERRMSG. -Original Message- Fr
