Very interesting, and thanks for the hint.  I added a second getmsg() after executing the VTAM command and achieved success. No CART needed, just a straightforward CONSOLE SYSCMD(D NET,E... and 2X getmsg().

Still does not explain why it sometimes works with just 1X, though, but again, thanks!

Subject: [External] : Re: DISPLAY VTAM commands from TSO CONSOLE

I've tried this (2 minute delay):

netcmd = 'DISPLAY NET,E,ID=' || vtamlu
if test = 'TEST' then say 'Command:' netcmd
"CONSOLE SYSCMD(" netcmd ") CART(VTAM0000)"
msg = getmsg(netresp.,'either','VTAM0000',,120)

And this:
"CONSOLE SYSCMD(" netcmd ") CART(VPSC0002)"
msg = getmsg(netresp.,'SOL',VPSC ,'FFFFFFFF00000000'X,120)

both with 'SOL' and 'either," no difference, only one line returned.

This exec issues three system commands, one to derive the VTAM LU from
VPS, the second, above, to derive the IP address from VTAM, and then the
third to display from TCPIP NETSTAT the status of the printer.  It never
gets to command #3.

Thanks,
/Tom

Can you post your code with CART and a two-second delay?

Thanks, I've tried with/without CART, as well as waiting up to 2 minutes
for responses, with no change in the dreary outcome.

Program in a delay.. I'd also suggest using a CART.

Subject: DISPLAY VTAM commands from TSO CONSOLE

I am having difficulty obtaining predictable and repeatable results from
DISPLAY VTAM commands in TSO CONSOLE.

In all cases, the first response is returned, e.g., for processing via
getmsg():

10:06:05.30 SYSTVPSC 00000290  DISPLAY NET,ID=SYSTP011
10:06:05.31 SYSTVPSC 00000090  IST097I DISPLAY ACCEPTED

All too often, though, the subsequent detail display is not, and
getmsg() returns, e.g., by msgresp.0 a number of lines=1 and nothing
beyond, so though these are in the syslog, they are not returned to my exec:

10:06:05.31 SYSTVPSC 00000090  IST075I NAME = NETNAME.SYSTP011
                     783 00000090  IST486I STATUS= ACTIV, DESIRED...etc.

I think I have tried every combination of CONSPROF and getmsg() parms,
nothing seems to work.

Any idea what I'm missing?  Thanks in advance,
