Hello anyone,

Nothing serious, but just detected an anomaly with the "TELL" command.
I have a job which does several "TELL"s and I just noticed that it was
appending a "J2" to the job number on some of the messages.
I constructed a test job :

!JOB testjob,manager.sys;outclass=lp,1,1
!TELL manager.sys **  Message 1 **
!TELL manager.sys **  Message 2 **
!TELL manager.sys **  Message 3 **
!TELL manager.sys **  Message 4 **
!EOJ

When I stream it, the result comes back :

967 : FROM/J12128 MANAGER.SYS/**  Message 1 **
FROM/J12128J2 MANAGER.SYS/**  Message 2 **
FROM/J12128J2 MANAGER.SYS/**  Message 3 **
FROM/J12128J2 MANAGER.SYS/**  Message 4 **

Notice the "J2" after the job numbers except after the first one!

I understand that the "TELL" command used to use a message out of the
system
Catalog to provide the format and the "FROM/" text etc. I'm not sure if
that
is still the case or it is using "SYSCAT" now. Where is that "J2" coming
from??

This is on a 967 with RELEASE: C.55.00   MPE/iX HP31900 C.05.08   USER
VERSION: C.55.00

Cheers,

John Dunlop
