My first pipe was a command line entry that did a CP QUERY DASD'
selected all volumes having a volser starting with the letter V, sorted
on the 5th word and wrote the result to a file.

Pretty harsh comment there Richard.
It seems he'd like to eat up the response to the Close
command and perhaps process the result. The CP command as you wrote it
displays it on the console. The DIAG command as you wrote it also
displays the output on the console.
How about cutting me some slack? Many people start
using PIPE's with a simple one like mine.

Even cheaper,
say diag(8, 'SPOOL CONS CLOSE OPERATOR')
or
'CP SPOOL CONS CLOSE OPERATOR'
Why invoke Pipelines when there are both an internal
function and a simple command that will do the job with much less
overhead (no scanner, scheduler, etc.). This is a case of blatant misuse
of Pipelines.

It works for me.
On the other hand why not make life easier on
yourself and PIPE it:
PIPE LITERAL CLOSE CONS OPERATOR | CP | Stem
ans. "

Yes it did as indicated below, but shouldn't
this have appeared in the reader stack as shown by keying in the
following at the console?
CLOSE CONS OPERATOR
CON FILE 0227 SENT TO OPERATOR RDR AS 0063
RECS 0017 CPY 001 T NOHOLD NOKEEP

If the console was spooled, it went to operator.
CP Q RDR OPERATOR and see if a console spool
file is there.

This is what shows up during execution:
204 *-* 'EXECIO * CP (STRING CLOSE CONS
OPERATOR'
>>> "EXECIO * CP (STRING CLOSE CONS
OPERATOR"
205 *-* MAXLINES = QUEUED()
>>> "0"

Yes.

Thanks...
Is my EXECIO statement valid?
>>> "Hughes, Jim" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
7/16/2008 5:03 PM >>>
MAKEBUF not MAKBUF hence the -3.

Subject: Some REXX exec help needed.
I have the following code in a REXX exec which
if I recall worked without any issues in a prior life.
'MAKBUF'
BUFFNUM = RC
'EXECIO * CP (STRING CLOSE CONS OPERATOR'
The MAKBUF is returning an RC of -3
and the EXECIO statement isn't working but did
in the past.
I know this is crazy but all this started after
I logged off and then back on.
Any ideas as how to solve this will be
appreciated.
Thanks.
