If you're trying to get to the SRCHFOR panel, you could try:

ISPEXEC SELECT PGM(ISRSFM)

Just another idea.

In ISPF Primary Option Menu Choose 0 Settings.
Now select Function keys in the Menu bar
Select 1. Non-Keylist PF Key settings
Press ENTER key to display alternate keys
For PF13 to PF24. . Instead of HELP, SPLIT give 3.14 for any one of the PF Keys (Say PF24).

Now if you press SHIFT F12 in your regular PC keyboard, you will be directly invoking the Search-For Utility.

Cool Mervyn!! You solved the problem.

Mervyn,

This is similar to the question in this thread,but my requirement is different.

my req is,

I want to extract the output of a TSO command which i execute on the command line.

This is the exact senario,

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Menu Options View Utilities Compilers Help
ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Command ===> Scroll ===> CSR

Command - Enter "/" to select action Message Volume
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
whohas Userid.xxxxx.yyyyy.zzzz *VSAM*
Userid.xxxxx.yyyyy.zzzz.DATA P00011+
Userid.xxxxx.yyyyy.zzzz.INDEX P00011+
***************************** End of Data Set list ****************************
I hit enter typing whohas against the file name.
where WHOHAS is thh command to find who is holding the file currently
and the result TSO issus on screen is

SYS2 >CICS holds SYSDSN SHR: Userid.xxxxx.yyyyy.zzzz ***

PLease help me in knowing how to bring this thro rexx..(i.e) this TSO command should be executed thro rexx and the result should be stored in a dataset or returned to the exec itself.

Thanks in advance.

You'd be better off using a utility that is meant to be called by rexx. Check the ISPF QUERYENQ service. It will give you the information in a form that Rexx can understand without resorting to an unsupported or local command like WHOHAS.
