 Posted: Thu Apr 10, 2008 9:51 pm Post subject: executing REXX without the TSO command |
 |
|
Hi,
I've got a dataset:
USERID.EXEC
which has been added into my SYSEXEC concatenation.
Two members within USERID.EXEC are ED
| Code: | /* REXX */
say 'hello1'
exit |
and CMD
| Code: | /* REXX */
say 'hello2'
exit |
To execute ED, I can enter into the main ISPF screen
TSO ED
or
ED
To execute CMD, I have to enter into the main ISPF screen
TSO CMD
Command
CMD
alone won't work as I get 'Invalid option' response.
I've got other REXX executables in my dataset. However, some of them work without the TSO command. Some of them don't. Can anyone explain this discrepancy?
Ultimately, I want to be able to execute REXX executables without typing 'TSO' at the start of the command. I know its oly 3 letters, but if I can maximise efficiency, it'd be even better.
Cheers. |

I expect you will find that CMD is a TSO command and you will have to rename your exec

I asked a friend of mine the question, and he replied with 'you gotta set up a ISPF COMMAND' and referred me to the ISPF COMMANDS manual.
I'll have a read and see if I can find the solution to include in this post. |

or many people just set a PF key to TSO and then you enter your command (any command) and press the PF key. An enhancement to that is to set the PF key to TSO %someexec where somexec is an exec that traps the output and shows it in browse. There are lots of execs out there that do this. Mine is at http://www.sillysot.com/ftp/btso.txt
