Printing from TSO REXX

From a REXX program is there a way to initiate a screen print ?

what? you don't have dispostion of the print dataset until ispf
exit.... why would you want a programatic screen dump?

ISPF screen image, there are a couple of ways to do it. You might be
able to stack some commands on a display call using the command()
parameter, soemthing like end;print;list save
If you want an ISPF screen image in either HTML format or RTF (word
processor) format, see the ISPFHTML program at my web site.
If you just want a basic idea of what the screen looks like, use the
ZSCREENI variable within ISPF.
There are other ways for ISPF. I use screen images both interactive
and programatic all the time, mostly via traces for debugging customer
problems where the descriptions of what they are doing are not clear.
If you are looking to capture other systems output (line mode,
non-ISPF SDSF, session manager, etc), I don't know of a way to do it
through rexx.

I looked it up. I could not tell from their description where your rexx might be running
(it is the application being tested, or it is the hypervisor running in a different
address space, or it is a terminal emulator keystroke generator or...) or what type of
output is being traced (line mode, ISPF, fullscreen tputs, vtam screens, etc).
Still not nearly enough information to go on.
It looks like QAHIPERSTATION might have facilities to record the session though since it
talks about playback in slow motion, though the decription isn't entirely clear what that
means.

just once, or every time the script(s) are running?
Presumably you are using a PC emulating a 3270-like terminal; the PC will
certainly have some way of snapshotting the screen either within the
emulator, or even just as a general facility built into the PC operating
system. Tell us the emulator & OS and we might be able to tell you how
to take the snapshots...
