Hi,
I got stuck at the following issue, here is what i am trying to do

After submitting job thru rexx, i am trying to go to IOF and get the JESMSGLG from IOF to a seq. file. for doing this i used "OUTPUT" in "OUTTRAP" in the following way

x = outtrap(out.)
"OUTPUT "part1" PRINT ('TSJV.A9ZCCS4.CCS.OUTPUT') "
x= output(off)

now i am getting the entire log in the seq. file. I want to extract only a selected lines from this file, so i tried to read this file using EXECIO and rexx thrown me a error message stating that the file is not free.

Can any one suggest me how to close this file or the way i can read this file after this outtrap step?

Please let me know in case if you need any other information.

Thanks,
Surya

Actually i the file is already existing and i did not use any special commands to allocate the file in rexx program. I done exactly the way i mentioned earlier.

Thanks,
Surya
