I have a coded a small fex on the mainframe FOCUS for testing.
My goal is to route the output directly to the remote printer rather
than my monitor display.

At the top of the FOCUS program I have coded:

 SET PRINT = ONLINE  
-INCLUDE PRTLAND4   
-RUN


- - - - - - - - -
Then. I have the FOCUS code I want to produce a report
- - - - - - - - -

At the bottom of the program, I coded:
RELEASE


The included PRTLAND4 FOCUS program is 3 lines of code:
OFFLINE CLOSE
TSO FREE F(OFFLINE)
TSO ALLOC F(OFFLINE) SYSOUT(A) DEST(RMT320) WRITER(LAND08)


It has been yeatrs since I have even tried this, but I am getting the error:
quote:

UNKNOWN FOCUS COMMAND RELEASE
BYPASSING TO END OF COMMAND


Sometimes it works and other times not so good... Confused

Does it matter that I am getting the message for RELEASE?
Is that a fatal message?

Thanks!

What do you expect the command RELEASE should do for you?

Maybe add a question mark before the release command might help.
? RELEASE

RELEASE is a TSO command to release the data set.

Digging through the crates of ancient code, I came across this:

OFFLINE CLOSE
TSO FREE F(OFFLINE)
TSO ALLOC F(OFFLINE) SYSOUT(A) COPIES(1) DEST(RMT695)


I don't have any RELEASE statements in the code. I think the TSO FREE/ALLOC OFFLINE commands goe at the top of a report. At the end of report execution the report printed on printer RMT695...

Thank you Francis. Before you replied, I did remove the RELEASE cmd and it works better.
