It's not at all clear to me how you perform "screen related" operations
from a load module executed with JCL.

It's very clear for anyone who knows how, for example, the VTAM API works!

Here's some holiday reading for you covering all you need to know.

z/OS Communications Server SNA Programming

http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/F1A1D930/

Pay particular attention to Chapter 11, "Programming for the IBM 3270
Information Display System" which describes how VTAM performs "protocol
conversion" from pre-SNA local 3270 channel programming to presenting the
appearance of an SNA secondary LU implementing LU type 0 with the 3270 data
stream, which is described in the following manual:

3174 Establishment Controller Functional Description

http://publibfp.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr/BOOKS/cn7a7003/

And what's more, you don't even need to use any USS! That's what the
SIMLOGON API call is all about.[1]

I think you have two different questions here.

Incidentally, what are the "two different questions" you have in mind?

-

[1] Actually, you could simply use a flavour of the OPNDST API call but that
is discouraged since, in session setup, so much can go wrong and using
SIMLOGON provides more granularity.
