The advantage that Robert Fowles' RSCS REXX stage has over any of the solutions I've seen so far (including the QRSCS REXX sample I pointed out) is its use of a CRI-prefix to uniquely identify the responses coming back from RSCS as being those from the specific command you issued. The others pick up any messages received from any source with the DELAY window you specify.
For information on CRI-prefixes, see the z/VM RSCS Networking Operation and Use at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/zvm/v5r4/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.zvm.v54.hcpa0/hcsf8b32179.htm I can post the entire program or send it to individual requestors. It's 85 lines long.
