Probably? This is all being doing from python. I can try to have it run
that, but i think i will get a new process space so it won't matter. 

Can't you issue it from the command line?   Python, if you are issuing the
command from os.system("TELL...") is probably just spawning off commands.
The context will be lost if that's the case.

The error in the NCP code from the $QIO(W) is returned but it is masked
with STS$M_INHIB_MSG.   So, the status code may be there but DCL will not
translate it to a viewable message string due to the STS$M_INHIB_MSG bit.
