FWEBSRV(M or I) are two jobs that run. The FWEBSRV is the constant and the (M or the I) is what I want to look for. The way I have it coded for just FWEBSRV works but it doesn’t show the ending letter so the operators don’t which job ended. I tried putting an “*” in but it comes back with a “*”.

WTO (IEF404I FWEBSRV* – ENDED’)”,
” ENABLE”,
” SUPPRESS”,
” ACTION (‘WTO ”FWEBSRV HAS ENDED”,
“E-MAIL JOHN DOE’ ‘DESC(2) NOMSGID’)”

RETURN

I hope I am making sense.

That doesn’t make sense to me. Can you explain more?

Are you trying to test with a wildcard? What is “FWEBSRV”? Is it a literal constant? Is it a name? Are you trying to check two different instances of a web server?

What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

The TRAP function itself isn’t REXX. You would be using REXX to execute an external command. Show the exact command that you want to execute and we can determine how you would use REXX to format the command.
