I see merely:
User response: Establish a SYSCALL environment.
They could be more explicit and recommend SYSCALLS( 'ON' )
That's worth an RCF. Does BMC have an RCF process?
Regardless, if ISR requires a SYSCALL environment, they should issue
SYSCALLS( 'ON' ) in their code rather burdening the user with it.
If it's redundant, there's no harm beyond a negligible performance
cost. And that could be mitigated by calling the function only for
error recovery.
That's worth an RFE. Does BMC have an RFE process?

The SYSCALL environment can be used by any REXX program with syscall commands, whether it runs from TSO/E or the z/OS shells (where the environment is automatically initialized). (I'd add IRXJCL to that list.) Are you running under z/OS, but perhaps in a captive environment with limitations on host environments? -- gil -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
SYSCALL environment not available
I am trying to run obtain maintenance from BMC thru an ISR (Internet Service Retrieval) and it is failing on a rexx command for USS "address syscall ". BMC has said that the "SYSCALL" environment is not available on my system. What is the "SYSCALL" environment and how might I get it available? thanks Bill -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
