I'm trying to run SOKINFO.NET.SYS from a job and receive the following error message: ------------------------------- . . . SOCKINFO (B.05.09) (c) Copyright Hewlett-Packard Company 1985-1992 (24/32) Continue? MPE-XL Socket Information Display. NetIPC version B.05.09 *Error 6* This program may not be run from a job END OF PROGRAM :EOJ -------------------------------- The RUN statement for the SOCKINFO program is: RUN SOCKINFO.NET.SYS;INFO='programname.group.account' >*fileeq This works fine in interactive mode - although it requires manually entering the SOCKINFO "Exit" command to finally terminate the program. The required "Exit" command seems to be the problem when running from a job. I've tried using a MSG file to input the "Exit" - didn't work. The information I'm looking for is the total number of sockets associated with a particular program. Is there some other program/command I can use to accomplish this in a job?
