Group,

   Has anyone had an issue with managing DNS entries and finding a DNS name 
that should not have the name it does?  I keep looking for a wildcard query 
that can report on more than one DNS record at a time so I can find DNS names 
that don't conform to our standards.  I looked in the V1R12 IP Sys Admin 
Commands and it says "TSO NSLOOKUP has been deprecated in favor of the z/OS 
UNIX dig command" and it also says "TSO DIG has been deprecated in favor of the 
z/OS UNIX dig command".  It looks like in the future TSO won't be able to do a 
DNS query.

   I am writing an EXEC that uses TSO/E commands NSLOOKUP and DIG.  It appears 
the OUTTRAP is not catching the output from these commands.  Here is my EXEC:

addr = 'x.x.x.x'

x = OUTTRAP(DNSIN.)
   ADDRESS TSO 'DIG -x' addr '+noquestion'
x = OUTTRAP('OFF')

Do i = 1 TO DNSIN.0
   Say 'rec' i '=' DNSIN.i
End

x = OUTTRAP(DNSIN.)
   ADDRESS TSO 'NSLOOKUP' addr
x = OUTTRAP('OFF')

Do i = 1 TO DNSIN.0
   Say 'rec' i '=' DNSIN.i
End

Q).  Should outtrap catch the output of TSO/E commands NSLOOKUP and DIG?

Q).  Should I just write a z/OS UNIX dig script and forget about deprecated 
TSO/E commands?


   Thanks, Dave
