That is certainly not true. TPUT from the very beginning had an ASID= option (well, in pre-MVS days it was TJID=, which is actually still there as an alias for ASID=) and that allows a TPUT from any environment to send a message to a logged-on TSO user. Now there may be some constraints on this, and a subsystem like CICS may not appreciate SVCs being issued, but certainly there is no general restriction or authorization requirement to TPUT to another address space. > putline/getline will work in batch and TSO. CICS has never worked . We're talking about something quite different. PUTLINE/GETLINE are one layer up, and will invoke either TPUT/TGET if at a terminal, or QSAM PUT/GET if not.
