Well, I am submitting a TSO command (EXEC command) from
the WebSphere Developer product; this is transmitted to
the host by APPC which then either attaches the TMP or
the EXEC command processor; I don't have anything tricky
to do, but I am trying to keep it simple (easily maintained
by customers who will be setting up for labs) and reasonably
efficient. The edit operations are not in batch, it's a
one time command execution to set up files for labs.
I've run ISPF in batch, but why go to all the trouble
when a dozen TSO EDIT subcommands will do the trick
with no ISPF data sets nor startup overhead?
Sounds like I'm in the minority here, but I like the approach of using
EDIT for basic editing in the environment you've described. EDIT is
simple, doesn't require a slew of pre-allocated data sets [whose names
will vary from site to site], and is guaranteed available.
Speaking as a software developer, the simplest approach that achieves
the objective is usually the "best" one. The old KISS strategy still
works in the 21st century.
