There are persistent questions here about how to get status from a batch program, and even how to tell when a batch program has completed.
An alternative might have been to use BPX1EXM, but that runs the target program in a separate address space and I would have needed to code an assembler bridge program for DYNALLOC and ATTACH, and that program would have needed AC=1 and authorized library. TSO/Rexx fit my skills better and was safer for everyone. TSO reports failure when GIMSMP performs a successful RETRY. IIRC, Kurt Q. explained the logic. I couldn't imagine how to cast an SR; I just told my users to ignore or try again. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
