I think that the TCAST is located in Fetch protected storage. You would
need authorized code to even read it. I believe that is why Netview rexx gets a
null values.
Is there a problem with issuing commands???
In my opinion, it would be easier to Pipe a 'D TS' command to MVS and
parse the reply for the usermax value!!!

Thanks Tony!
My intent is to merely interrogate to ensure someone hadn't left an
undesired value after a change window.
Traveling down the path of CVT > TCAST > TCASUMAX using Rexx storage calls
(via NetView) yields a null value.
The old doc mentioned TCAST was located in "System common area", but
perhaps it moved to private?
Anyway, I appreciate the help!
