REXX: Print SDSF Spool output using REXX

The below code helps to print the spool out to the dataset. 
FILTER command is used to uniquely select the job output when the job names are same.
FILTER works only together with AFD REFRESH command. 
The program ISFAFD is the batch support for SDSF.

This REXX takes three inputs:
  • JOBNAME
  • JOBID
  • OUTPUT Dataset Name

ARG JOBNAME JOBID TEMPFILE

Submitting jobs through REXX and reading the spool through REXX gives us immense potential to automate many manual activities in mainframes....
