I removed the NOSASUSER option and it now works. Thanks Cisco.

118 must be some kind of connectivity issue (to OMVS?) because I am now getting a good return code of 0 and the type 222 record is being written to SMF. Go figure!

I am trying to write an SMF record via a BAL program that I got from SAS.
I am invoking it via rexx as follows:

smfrc=rexxsmf('222','this is some SMF data')

rexxsmf is the BAL program. 222 is t ...

I tried what you suggested with the same result. I thought that TSO passed it through to MVS because it could not process SPMUT00 as a command - just as it does for all other utilities like IEBCOPY et ...

That's what I did. I think there is something about running this utility program in a TSO/rexx environment rather than via JES and its own MVS task that is the issue.

Thanks Kolusu, however I don't want to wait for a batch job to run. So, how do you make it work in foreground TSO with rexx?

usa contact suggested this before giving up because of lack of rexx knowledge:

I can't make it work!!!

The product vendor (RSD in switzerland - usa contact 201 996 1122 are no help since they don't know rexx)

No - this is not what I want to do (I don't want to access rexx from SAS). I want to access SAS from rexx - the SAS code I am executing is just SAS code without any calls to rexx. I just want the outp ...
