I use the ISFCALLS with ISFSLASH to run commands:

/* REXX */
 begin = 'false'
 cmd.0 = 1
 cmd.1 = 'd omvs,l'
 x=isfcalls("on")
 "ALLOC F(O) DA(A7G.OUT) DSORG(PS) SPACE(2,0) TRACKS LRECL(132) RECFM(F,B) NEW"
 ADDRESS SDSF ISFSLASH "("cmd.") (WAIT)"
 do i=1 to isfulog.0
      If POS('MAXPROCSYS',isfulog.i) <> 0 Then
        BEGIN='TRUE'
      If BEGIN = 'TRUE' Then
        CALL PARSEMSGS(isfulog.i)
 End
 "EXECIO 0 DISKW O (FINIS"
 "FREE F(O)"
 x=isfcalls("off")
 exit

/* This routine will parse out what we want from the messages */
 PARSEMSGS:
   ARG PRTMSG
    PARSE VAR PRTMSG LIMIT MPCUR MPHIGH MPLIM .
    out.0=4
    out.1=LIMIT
    out.2="   Current Usage:   "MPCUR
    out.3="   Highwater Usage: "MPHIGH
    out.4="   System Limit:    "MPLIM
    "EXECIO * DISKW O (STEM out."
 RETURN

That runs a d omvs,l command and captures the output.


ISFSLASH would be where I started.

Subject: REXX and the console

I was hoping to be able to issue a command to the console, eg. D M, and capture 
the output in a REXX exec.  I though I might be able to use SDSF interface, but 
as of yet I've been able to find that might work.

If it is in fact possible, could some give me a pointer where I might start 
reading?
