Hello,
Currently working on rerouting printoutput with REXX/SDSF.
In my REXX I can nicely get the token that is associated with the spooldataset that is associated with a destination.
It seems that ISFACT does not let me reroute via PARM(dest newdest).
Code:

Address SDSF "ISFACT H TOKEN('"TOKEN.rowix"') PARM(DEST newdest)"



Another way to do it would be via ISFEXEC or ISFSLASH, but then how do I pull out the specific spooldataset?

Code:

Address SDSF ISFSLASH "$TO"Jxxxxx",OUTGRP=?.?.?,DEST="newdest

Help would be appreciated.
Kind regards,
Hans Kok

Perhaps provide here whatever message or return code that you got??

Can you explain how you got the token? My recollection is that you have to go to H panel to see a list of jobs, then issue a ? line command to show the individual output files for a particular job.

Don't you also need these two steps in your rexx program?

The combination
Address SDSF "ISFACT ST TOKEN('"TOKEN.jn"') PARM(NP SA)"
Address SDSF "ISFACT ST TOKEN('"TOKEN.jn"') PARM(NP ?) (prefix j_"
should give you everything that SDSF knows about the output.
Then assuming that the output has a something to distinguish itself, like a different output class, you can use the variable J_OGNAME.ix to build the $T command. Check the SDSF display for a job, it must have the O-Grp-N value something other than 1.

The rexx I use is generated with RGEN, with some filtering, and it gives me the output I want including the tokens, and jobid.
I chose the long way round and grab the OUTGRP from ULOG after a $DOJ….(LONG) command.
I find the REXX/RGEN combination nice, but the documentation is limited, it would be nice to have some more examples.
The code to pull out the OUTGRP I “borrowed” from the internet.
Thanks anyway

Here is an example which, for a given job, will route any output in output class 'C' to destination TEST.
Code:
jobmask='TESTPRT '                                                     
rc = ISFCALLS('ON')                                                   
Address SDSF "ISFEXEC ST" jobmask                                     
do jn=1 to jname.0                                                     
  Address SDSF "ISFACT ST TOKEN('"TOKEN.jn"') PARM(NP ?)"             
  do dn=1 to ddname.0                                                 
    if oclass.dn<>'C' then iterate                                     
    say 'Job' jname.jn jobid.jn 'output dsid' dsid.dn ,               
        'outclass' oclass.dn 'outgrp' ogname.dn 'will be rerouted'     
    Address SDSF,                                                     
     "ISFSLASH '$TO"jobid.jn",OUTGRP="ogname.dn".1.1,DEST=TEST' (WAIT)"
  end                                                                 
end   

By the way, you were missing single quotes in your ISFSLASH command.
And I must emphasize that you need some distinguishing factor to identify the output, like output class.
SDSF will generate a lot of variables, but I think that they are all documented in the SDSF Users Guide. I often find it easier just to list them, using the REXXVARS program found at either 'https://harders-jensen.com' or at 'https://cbttape.org' in file 669. Sample: call rexxvars 'list var(job* *.5)'.
