How to get the MVS command response information.

Postby nickwyw » Thu Nov 04, 2010 2:08 pm

I want in the REXX, get the volume serial number, used unit address, as follow codes.
I have two question,
first one, in the log I found the command rc = -3, I don't know how to conform the reason.
second, how to set the command response message to a variable, I have tried the OUTTRAP instrcution but it just can get the TSO command message.

49 *-*  address mvs 'D U,,,'unitadd
   >L>    "D U,,,"                 
   >V>    "9001"                   
   >O>    "D U,,,9001"             
   +++ RC(-3) +++                   


Code:
du_command:                               
unitadd = 9001                 
address mvs 'D U,,,'unitadd                                   
if rc \= 0 then do                       
   subrc = rc                             
   say "bad Display unit cmd, rc = "subrc
   subrc = 16                             
   signal end_du_command                 
   end                                   
else do                                   
   say 'the message is '                                 
   end                                   
end_du_command:                           
return subrc                             



Could you give me some advise, Thanks .

see

for the whole TSO REXX shebang

and

for the details of the Address <some environment> facilities

anyway for console commands the proper environment is Address CONSOLE

but that is prone to open up a can of worms for authorizations needed

If you can whip up some assembler code, it might be easier to use the UCBLOOK macro. You can find more information: Programming Authorized Assembler Services Guide

Pedro is correct, though I would use the UCBSCAN COPY macro.
