cozclient BPXWDYN with OUTDES

[tsdjim]

I have been using the following syntax for cozclient to dynamically allocate a SYSOUT and it works fine:

cozclient /u/mydir/cgi-bin/bpxwdyn.rexx \
"alloc dd(OUTDD) recfm(F) lrecl(131) sysout(X) msg(2)"

I now needed to add UCS DEST COPIES so I modified it as follows but it gives a rc=255:

cozclient /u/mydir/cgi-bin/bpxwdyn.rexx \
"alloc dd(OUTDD) recfm(F) lrecl(131) sysout(X) DEST(#101) UCS(XBAN) COPIES(2) msg(2)"

So I tried to add an OUTDES with the following two statements but the OUTDES seems to be ignored:

cozclient /u/mydir/cgi-bin/bpxwdyn.rexx \
"outdes(mydes) DEST(#101) UCS(XBAN) COPIES(2)"
cozclient /u/mydir/cgi-bin/bpxwdyn.rexx \
"alloc dd(OUTDD) OUTDES(mydes) recfm(F) lrecl(131) sysout(X) msg(2)"


How do I specify these attributes DEST COPIES UCS for the dynamic llocation?

Sorry, never tried using OUTDES with BPXWDYN.

Do you think that your problem is related to running BPXWDYN remotely? Does it work as you expect if you do this from a local z/OS shell?

Shouldn't this have worked without OUTDES, using just DEST UCS COPIES on the alloc:

cozclient /u/mydir/cgi-bin/bpxwdyn.rexx \
"alloc dd(OUTDD) recfm(F) lrecl(131) sysout(X) DEST(#101) UCS(XBAN) COPIES(2) msg(2)"

I don't know.
Does it work without OUTDES if you do it locally from a z/OS shell? (there should be absolutely no difference).
If not, you might open an ETR with IBM, or post a question to the mvs-oe list (the developer of BPXWDYN will often reply there).
