Thanks for all of the help. I used the RC and then looped thru the stacked data to get the message I needed.

WAKEUP stacks the data in the following order regardless of the order the options are specified when you invoke WAKEUP: 1. Current date and time 2. Line from the WAKEUP TIMES file, or an asterisk (*) if no line is found 3. An IUCV, SMSG or VMCF message, or EXT or IO interrupt data. Note: In general, the last line stacked by WAKEUP is the one you really want to use, not the first line.

Been awhile but I think the cause stems from this (HELP WAKEUP): When FILE is specified, WAKEUP will always stack the line from the file (or a null line if no line was found) before exiting, even if the cause of the WAKEUP was not timer expiration. The stacked line has the following format: * recno record-from-file where recno is the record number of the line in the file, and record-from-file is as much of the record as will fit on the stack. As I recall - I would have these entries in the stack, which then had to be tossed as they weren't 'real' timer entries. There are some code examples under HELP WAKEUP that might help ...

I have a server that runs a WAKEUP EXEC that uses the FILE parameter. I need to run an additional WAKEUP EXEC that uses the SMSG parameter. My question is can I incorporate the 'WAKEUP (SMSG' in the same FOREVER loop as the other WAKEUP EXEC? I am seeing errors that make me think this will not work this way. Or do I have to create another server to run my other WAKEUP EXEC (i.e. 1 server runs the WAKEUP (FILE and another server runs the WAKEUP (SMSG) ?
