Ahh. That'd do it. QSH evokes another job. The job running the program with the QSH command in it found a place to run, but there was no slot to run the evoked shell job.

ANSWER TO PROBLEM FOUND
I cannot write that in TOO LARGE a font.
The problem has NOTHING to do with the ifs directory, the file that I am attempting to capture the output to OR the authority.
It was the number of jobs allocated to the sub-system.
Like I said in a prior e-mail, the job has been running okay for a couple of weeks, then all of a sudden, it had problems.
That's because at approximately 8:50 this morning another job in the same subsystem went into a MSGW status (this is the development system so these can be around for a while).
Once it FINALLY dawned on me what the problem could be, I had systems increase the number of jobs in that subsystem and bingo-gringo, the problem went away.
This also explains why running the same command in QSH also worked.
Now I am wondering why the message was QSH0005 with return code of 2 Man - now I am mentally beat Alan Shore Programmer/Analyst, Direct Response E:AShore@xxxxxxxx

Hi Rob
At the moment if I said that 2 + 2 =4 and you replied that it wasn't, I'm pretty sure that I would doubt my original answer.
In other words, I'm not too sure.
The best way that I think I can answer that, is by repeating what I had originally written.
Using STRDBG on the CL program I have determined the &LSCOMMAND contains the following value
ls /weborders/HB*.txt >/qsys.lib/hbmofa.lib/webordifs.file/webordifs.mbr
Copying and pasting this text into the QSH command and pressing Enter results in the file HBMOFA/WEBORDIFS being populated with the following records (***NOTE*** I made sure that the file was empty BEFORE the QSH command was given:-
Record# ....5...10...15...20...25...30.
1 /weborders/HB1000001860.txt
2 /weborders/HB1000001870.txt
3 /weborders/HB1000001880.txt
4 /weborders/HB1000001890.txt
5 /weborders/HB1000001930.txt
6 /weborders/HB1000001940.txt
7 /weborders/HB1000001950.txt
8 /weborders/HB1000002030.txt
9 /weborders/HB1000002040.txt
10 /weborders/HB1000002050.txt
11 /weborders/HB1000002060.txt

Are you sure that it IS pointing to the directory that you are trying to interrogate, and not the qsys.lib directory you are writing to?

Thanks for your reply Mark
I will definitely keep that in mind, but if the QWSH0005 reason code 2 is pointing to the ifs directory that I am trying to interrogate, then I don't think that redirecting the output to a different file will get me a different result

Hi, Alan:
Why not run your Qsh "ls" command and redirect the output to a true IFS file, e.g. in "/tmp", then, returning to your CL program, you can use the CPYFRMSTMF command to copy that file to your physical file member ... and CPYFRMSTMF supports MBROPT(*ADD) or MBROPT(*REPLACE) ...
HTH,

If my coding had never worked, I would probably go with the Scott
Klement type of IFS handling, but it HAS been working (I know -
obstinate so and so - that's me) And now that its NOT working now, I'm not too sure ifs auditing will help.

shot from the hip: IFS auditing?
or rewrite to some Scott Klement type of IFS handling to do it
piece-by-piece. :-(
