Hi
Is there a way to execute MVS Console commands within REXX and get the output in a dataset.

For: I have to execute task checks by issuing command like \
D T,
D SMF
D CON etc every 30mins and check the output.

Any help is appreciated.

bonie,

Try this untested code

Code:

/* REXX TO ISSUE CONSOLE COMMANDS */
CMD.1 = 'D T'                       
CMD.2 = 'D SMF'                     
CMD.3 = 'D CON'                     
"CONSOLE ACTIVATE"                   
DO X = 1 TO 3                         
"CONSOLE SYSCMD("CMD.X")"           
MCODE=GETMSG('RESMSG1.','SOL',,,60) 
IF RESMSG1.0 = 0 THEN DO             
  SAY 'NO MESSAGE RETURNED'         
  RETURN                             
END                                 
ELSE                                 
  DO I=1 TO RESMSG1.0               
    SAY RESMSG1.I                   
  END                               
  RESMSG1.0=0                       
END                                 
"CONSOLE DEACTIVATE"                 
EXIT
