Hi.

Is is possible in Arexx to capture the shell output of a command?
Assume this command:
Code:
```
ADDRESS COMMAND "list sys:"
```
Can the output of this be captured into a variable?

Maybe this helps you:
list sys: >Ram:list.txt

only if I understod what you want.
you list of sys is recorded as list.txt in Ram:

Well, it probably works.
I could read the file in Arexx after the command execution comes back.
It's a bit a detour but nevertheless.

I think you could use pipe: to not have to write to a file
