Hello folks: This has stymied myself for a coupla hours so I figure that I need the wisdom of the 3000-l: In a Job I wish to perform a LISTF to a Temp file that I then use as input. I want to select out of this Temp file Session Numbers for passing to, say, an Abortjob command. Presently, I am attempting to restream the output of the LISTF to an INPUT command using the backreference "<". The challenge seems to be that I am only getting the first occurrence (i.e. first record) of the LISTF. So, not a help if I have say a half-dozen sessions I want to get off the system at a given time. Yes, there are better ways of doing this thing, so: 1) a better way to do this is welcome, and 2) why does this approach through the INPUT JOBNAM < INPFIL construct where INPFIL is the TEMP file from LISTF, not function? I placed the INPUT in a WHILE loop which loops forever(!). TIA * To join/leave the list, search archives, change list settings, etc * * please visit http://raven.utc.edu/archives/hp3000-l.html *
