But when an operator command is issued from SDSF (or any program) is it generally possible to capture the reply? I suspect z/OS's characteristic adverse layering design (Conway's Law) intrudes here. Ideally, there should be a base layer that issues a command and receives a reply, supporting a higher layer that issues a command read from a console and reflects the reply to that console. I fear the current design is monolithic and not all command replies can be captured. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
