Yes, because when it was written (MVT days), there was no mechanism to capture console output and get it back to the issuing address space. So the TPUT was (probably still is) issued from the master scheduler address space directly to the caller, which therefore has to be a TSO address space with a terminal attached. And which I assume is why there's only a short list of supported commands, because some console commands are farmed out to other address spaces. Try using CONSOLE instead, assuming that you're authorized. > You certainly need to be pretty authorized to issue OPER. But why use it in 2025? Certainly CONSOLE is the way to go. Tony H.
