OUTTRAP function in batch mode

[mucruz]

Hi,

I'm trying to use the OUTRAPP function in batch mode to get a tso command output into a REXX variable. It works fine when I execute the REXX script directly, but it can't get anything when I execute it in a JCL. The REXX user's guide says that this function only can be used in a TSO address space. So, Is there any way to get a tso command output into a rexx variable to manage it?

Using OUTTRAP to trap the output of a TSO command within a REXX program is absolutely fine. That's what is was designed for.
What program do you use on your PGM= parameter of your EXEC statement of your job? It should be IKJEFT01 or one of its little sisters IKJEFT1A or IKJEFT1B to establish a TSO environment in batch.

If this is true and the problem still persists, you should post the relevant portion of your code here.
