It is possible that the mainframe security folks will disallow this, I know mine did.</p> <p>Another method would be to <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/search?q=screen%20scrape%203270&submit=search">screen scrape</a> ISPF.</p> <p>Instead of screen scraping ISPF, you could use the <a href="http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/zos/v1r13/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.zos.r13.ikjc500/sub.htm" rel="nofollow noreferrer">submit</a> command in <a href="http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/zos/v1r13/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.zos.r13.ikj/ikj.htm" rel="nofollow noreferrer">TSO</a> and run <a href="http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/zos/v1r13/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.zos.r13.sdf/sdf.htm" rel="nofollow noreferrer">SDSF</a> in TSO to retrieve your output.

You might have to store the output in a z/OS Unix file and retrieve it from there.</p>
