I did not see John’s Email. AFAIK there has *NEVER* been any such option. Every command that I have ever issued in TSO was echoed back to me, whether it was from a real TSO session to batch processing. Many a time I had to correct a parm or option and I just moved the cursor up to the command and corrected the error and hit enter again. That would reissue the command. This goes back to try very beginning os TSO and that was in the mid 70’s(and we were using TCAM - bur VTAM since then). The only thing I can think of that would make a difference was a TSO package, however, several times I was at IBM either as a student or in a class and the command always echoed back to me. In fact I was signed on through the Chicago IBM office one time to a IBM place on the west coast (sorry its been eons and do not remember where) and it worked as it had everywhere else. So I am not understanding what John said.
