Hi All
Can we simulate or clone the REPT code to perform similar functionality. Can we do that in REXX.
Can anyone provide me any useful information or any link regarding the same. I want to write a REXX code to capture last 5 typed commands in VM/CMS.
Thanks, |

| RETP (Retrieve Panel)- Retrieve last 25 commands typed in ISPF/TSO. |

You can invoke the RETP command from REXX with the following example; however - retrieving the last commands programmatically is not that straightforward. You might want to inquire the ISPRETP panel.
| Code: |
/* REXX */
STACK = 'RETP'
ADDRESS ISPEXEC "DISPLAY PANEL(any_panel_name) COMMAND(STACK)"
EXIT |

Sorry, my mistake. The above code was written and tested on z/OS. I have no idea regarding VM.

As far as I know, ISPF on VM is stuck on V3.2 (or something like that) for many years. On z/OS, there have been many releases since then.
In particular, RETP was in V4.? so will not be in the VM version. |

So we can't simulate similar code in VM?  |

This reminds me of years ago when I worked in a shop that had an MVS and a VM machine.
Nobody liked to work on the VM machine.
To avoid getting work assigned to me on that machine, I would say 'I can't even spell VM'. |
