How can I run JES2 command in rexx and return the results

I want to run some JES2 commands and give the results back to REXX.

As I investigated in this forum,I try to call a external service with
ADDRESS ISPEXEC " SELECT PGM(ISFISP) PARM('LOG')", but it jumps to the SDSF panel and I can't get what I want.

I expect to save the results in a var (like using CALL OUTTRAP "TRAP." to save the results in TRAP).

For example.
In SDSF => LOG
/$D Job 'jobname',STATUS,CC=CODE

In REXX

what can I do to get the results?

Could anyone help me?

Thank you.

By the way, is there any command to hold the REXX for a while?

Just like WAIT, SLEEP,etc..

If you have z/OS V1R9 then you could try using the SDSF Interface (see this IBM Redbooks)

Hello,

Most organizations will cancel tasks that do this. . .

If you need to have this run periodically, run it in batch via the system schedule.

There is no good reason to have this "permanently" tie up system resources. . .

It seems reasonable.

Thanks all.
