You mistake someone working for IBM and donating sample code to CBTTAPE as an API from IBM. It is not. I'll give it a try tonight. I assume the OP did notice the sample Rexx code traps the output into a compound variable, not a singular variable. You did display from stem.1 thru stem.[stem.0]?
I had in mind to do what I did for the CICS DFHCSD vsam file, repro it to a flat file and then read it. It only takes about a month to figure out what it is you are looking at. A Rexx API to SMP/E is long overdue. RXGIMAPI file778 is not really from IBM nor an API. It is a starting point for people who want to try and tackle using assembler code to get to the real API.
