REXX execs in TSO batch issuing operator commands and reading the
returned messages have started failing to get the messages most but not
all of the time now that we have gone to z/OS 1.7. For instance:
15 *-* SAY 'TIME: 'TIME()
>>> "TIME: 16:31:23"
TIME: 16:31:23
16 *-* "CONSPROF SOLDISPLAY(NO) SOLNUM(199)" /* "NO" NESC. FOR
GETMSG */
>>> "CONSPROF SOLDISPLAY(NO) SOLNUM(199)"
17 *-* "CONSOLE ACTIVATE" /* GET INTO CONSOLE
MODE */
>>> "CONSOLE ACTIVATE"
18 *-* "CONSOLE SYSCMD(D U,TAPE,ALLOC) CART('DUDASD')"
>>> "CONSOLE SYSCMD(D U,TAPE,ALLOC) CART('DUDASD')"
19 *-* GETCODE = GETMSG('MSG.','SOL','DUDASD',,99)
>>> "4"
Up until z/OS 1.7, the GETCODE return code would always be zero even
with the wait time coded as 5 instead of the 99 seconds I have specified
here. The SYSLOG shows
16:31:23.95 CCFTLS 00000290 D U,TAPE,ALLOC
16:31:23.97 CCFTLS 00000090 IEE455I UNIT STATUS NO DEVICES WITH
REQUESTED ATTRIBUTES
16:31:24.00 JOB01650 00000290 IEE455I UNIT STATUS NO DEVICES WITH
REQUESTED ATTRIBUTES
Does anyone have an idea of how to remedy this?
