Hi Fred, I subscribe to a mailing list called midrange-l hosted at midrange.com. It is monitored by people who most likely would know the answer to your question so I forwarded your question to the list. Here is the information, which was returned. I hope it helps with your project. date: Mon, 25 Dec 2006 13:00:09 -0500 from: "Douglas Handy" subject: Re: FW: IBM system 34 SSP command Paul/Fred, In case it wasn't clear from Mark's response, under SSP by default Output from certain utilities including $LABEL goes to a printer (typically spooled). At any time in a session you can issue SYSLIST CRT to cause future output to redirect back to your terminal, or SYSLIST PRINTER to revert back to printed output. Using SYSLIST CRT is somewhat like piping DOS output to the MORE command. You get a screenful of information then it pauses for you to pres Enter, then you get another screenful of data. You cannot scroll the data. Unlike MORE, the pipe isn't done on a per command basis; using SYSLIST remains in effect until you change it again (or sign off). If you don't want each line of data to be truncated after 75 characters, use SYSLIST CRT,FOLD instead. DISPLAY is not a valid OCL statement. DISPLAY is the name of one of the DFU procedures, to view a file in read-only mode. Other DFU procedures included ENTER or UPDATE or LIST. DISPLAY is similar to the LISTDATA command in i5/OS.
