If you are looking for PC routine backgrounds, I would suggest two books to search for, MVS Power Programming (J. Ranade IBM Series) by Mitchell Marx and Penelope Davis (unfortunately out of print, making it hard to find) and Advanced Assembler Language and MVS Interfaces, (Wiley) by Carmine Cannatello, also, it appears in limited availablility. These two books do a good job of explaining the techniques, and have some samples that you could start with. Attemping to front end any IBM provided services is a risky proposition, which, while it is possible, requires a deep understanding of the environment that the service runs in. Whenever you design a system type service, you must first figure out how to recover from any errors, without as little impact as possible (this is also, as I'm sure the many vendors developers on this list can attest, is often harder then the actual code implementation).
