Hi,

Can you please help me on how to extract sysout data from a job to a screen or a terminal.

Thanks,
Prasanth.

Prasanth,

Code:

sysout data from a job to a screen or a terminal.


I'm sorry. I'm unable to understand what you are saying. Do you want the sysout data to be captured to a dataset ? A background job does not have the capability to display the data that it produces on a foreground screen. All you can do is, capture the sysout data into a dataset (after the job completes) and use a REXX program to read the file and display its contents on screen.

Please clarify whether this is what you are looking at.

Thanks,
Phantom

Phantom,

I wanted to know whether a background job can directly fire sysout contents to foreground without writing into a dataset and then using rexx to display the dataset contents.

You exactly answered what i wanted.Sorry for not putting my doubt clearly.

Thanks for your reply.
Prasanth. Very Happy

If you generated TSO SEND commands in your batch process you could send messages to a user. The problem with this is that the messages can be quickly erased if the user presses the <ENTER> key too quickly.

Regards,
Bill
