This is the public portal for all IBM Z Hardware and Operating System related offerings. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).
We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:
Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,
Post an idea.
Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.
Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.
Welcome to the IBM Ideas Portal (https://www.ibm.com/ideas) - Use this site to find out additional information and details about the IBM Ideas process and statuses.
IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com) - Use this site to view all of your ideas, create new ideas for any IBM product, or search for ideas across all of IBM.
ideasibm@us.ibm.com - Use this email to suggest enhancements to the Ideas process or request help from IBM for submitting your Ideas.
The TSO LPQ command does not have a method to capture the output via an interactive method (TSO CLIST, REXX, Unix tsocmd, etc.). This is due to the following per IBM support:
"Several TSO commands supplied as a part of TCP/IP are written in Pascal, such as PING, TRACERTE, LPQ, LPR and REXEC. The routines use Pascal's standard output file for the generated messages. Pascal runtime will detect the difference between running under a user's TSO session and running in the batch environment, and will direct use SYSIN and SYSPRINT for standard I/O in batch and TGET and TPUT (direct terminal I/O) for these under TSO. So there will not be any DDs used for this output, nor will CLIST SYSOUTTRAP or REXX OUTTRAP functions capture these lines.
I am not aware of any mechanism that can be used to override this behavior."
This RFE is to request that IBM make the commands listed above utilize a method that allows output of them to be captured (either by default, or via an option). Alternately, perhaps Unix variants of these commands can be created that provide the same functionality that could also be captured via standard Unix scripting methods.
