Elardus,
Was simple after all! //SYSPRINT to a PDS worked fine as did the '?' and
'SE' on the member. Thanks very much!
Chip,
I will work with your REXX for other purposes - will be major useful. I have
been ooREXX for many years on the you know what platform, now I have to use
REXX in a z/OS world and SDSF was always sort of 'out there somewhere'. So
thanks.
Graham

Depending how you compiled PGM0047, you can put the program's output in a
PDS via JCL during execution.
Assuming you want the program's output, in the step where your PGM0047 is
running, simply replace
//???? DD SYSOUT=O to
//???? DD DISP=OLD,DSN=your.pds(PGM0047)
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
DELETE IBMUSE2.QKVS.PRNT133(PGM0047)
/*
You want to delete your output before you extract it via SDSF? I'm not sure
what you're trying to do...
.. at this point I'd //STEP2 to be JCL to pick out PGM0047 from SDSF;O and
copy it into IBMUSE2.QKVS.PRNT133(PGM0047) to be followed by many other
steps e.g.
You can do that in batch. Just remember how you type in your commands in
SDSF to extract that file and try to repeat that in a batch job, line by
line, or just have your program's output placed in a PDS in the first place.
Please make my day, thanks,

P.S. As an aside can it be edited while in SDSF;O?
Yes. I think it is first ? and then SE line commands ('m not now at a
terminal)
HTH!
