Scott, Thanks for the suggestion. I was considering DCOLLECT as well. Turns out we don't DCOLLECT for development LPAR's; we do just for the production ones. "Space" requests come from development most of the time. I could schedule new DCOLLECT's but at this point, I've already got NaviQuest working.
Out of curiosity, I will check out the DFSORT samples for it, and the GMI solution. - Vignesh Mainframe Admin -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Scott Barry Sent: 29 April 2014 16:45 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: ISMF data in batch using REXX On Tue, 29 Apr 2014 13:48:26 +0000, Sankaranarayanan, Vignesh <[email protected]> wrote: >Hello Lizette, > >Thanks for the suggestion.
