Where is it documented how to call TASID from REXX? There is an
indication of an interface, but nothing on the web site and nothing that
I can see in our TASID PDS.

Thanks.

Rich,

That will invoke it, but you do not need REXX to do that.

If I remember correctly there are two versions you can download: TASID
and TASIDP. One has panels built into the load module and one has the
panels separate.

Try the HELP while in TASID. I believe it has other suggestions for
passing parameters to it.

Bob,

So there is no function provided to collect specific information from
TASID (like there is for MXI)?

When you use TASID in batch, TASID runs the snapshot utility.

Rich,

As john just pointed out, there is the SNAPSHOT option (Option 8) that
you can preset prior to execution. But to answer your real question, no.
Rob Scott continues to develop MXI, but Doug Nadel turned it over to the
ISPF development team when he left that group. It has ben mostly
stabilized since then (2001 timeframe, I think).

I'm not familiar with the snapshot utility, what does that do?

The Snapshot utility allows you to create a sequential file which
contains data obtained by most of the TASID options. The name of
the data set can be changed by using the Settings pulldown on the
TASID main menu.

Here is how I execute it in batch.

//ISPF EXEC $LOGDED,PARM= <--- NULLIFY START-UP CLIST
//SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=* <--- OVERRIDE TERM=TS IN LOGON PROC
//SYSTSIN DD * <--- OVERRIDE TERM=TS IN LOGON PROC
PROFILE PREFIX(TRIDJK)
ISPSTART PGM(TASID) PARM(8)
PRINTDS DSNAME(TASID.SNAPSHOT) CCHAR NOTITLE SYSOUT(R) HOLD
//ISPPROF DD UNIT=VIO, <--- TEMPORARY ISPF PROFILE
// SPACE=(TRK,(1,1,5)),
// DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=6160)
