I find the best way to start TSM via TSO is to create a REXX pgm and allocated the required DDs within the rexx. This is based on the belief that the that the required DD's are rarely allocated in your TSO logon proc due to the limitted number of peple requiring access to the server line command.
eg /* rexx */ "ALLOC F(DSCOPT) DA('prod.client.OPTIONS') SHR REU" "ALLOC F(DSCLANG) DA('SYS1.TIVOLI.SANSMSG(ANSMENU)') SHR REU" address tso "dsmadmc / -TCPSERVERADDRESS=TSMSERVER" ----------------------------------------------------------- This e-mail is solely for the use of the intended recipient and may contain information which is confidential or privileged.
