Reading Sysout as Input

[dporcela]

I have a Jobstream that has many steps.

I would like to take the SYSOUT=* from one step and read it as input into another step (Rexx Program).

I can not (do not want to) write this sysout to a tempfile.

I do not have access to IOF (not sure exactly what it is).

How can I get access otherwise?

Any help is appreciated.

Don't think you've got much choice, then. Do you want the SYSOUT=* to still be present on the spool after the job has run? If so, consider writing it to a temp file to be read by your REXX step, and then copy it to SYSOUT=* using a subsequent IEBGENER step, or even write it to SYSOUT in your REXX step.

From memory (it's been about 10 years since I've used it) IOF is like SDSF - a spool viewer.

After the job is complete, you can use the OUTPUT command to write all of it to a dataset:

OUTPUT jname(jnum) KEEP

Maybe you need to explain why you don't want to write the output to a temp dataset. SteveXFF seems to be on the money.
