RE: Help with TRCTCPRTE

Thank you Chuck, I'll try that and compare with what I got from 'dumping' job logs.

I can't hardly spell TCP and a remote server admin has asked for:

I'm currently running one on the IP
For about five minutes now.

What I would like to know is how best to capture and get the output to
this person ?

Probably not _the best way_, but I believe the following script [performed in a new job] should produce spooled output that would resemble what they might expect to see; the actual traceroute request is not included with the given selection [but the Query Select could be extended to do so], and the query requests Arrival sequence processing so as to avoid ordering [per KEYFLD(*FILE) specification and the assumption that the output file is not keyed]:

crtpf qtemp/QMHMDT rcdlen(130) mbr(*none)
traceroute rmtsys( the_remote_server ) output(*msg)
dspjoblog output(*outfile) outfile(qtemp/jl) outmbr(*n *replace)
opnqryf qtemp/jl keyfld(*file) format(qtemp/QMHMDT)
qryslt(' qmhmid *ct "CPF98" *OR qmhmid *CT "TCP" ')
cpyfrmqryf jl qsysprt /* rplunprt(*yes ' ') _assumed_ */
clof jl
dltf qtemp/QMHMDT
dspsplf qsysprt splnbr(*last)

Repeat the above script in a new job, but replacing the_remote_server with the IP naming instead of the server name.
