If so, where do i find an example I'm not Walt, of course. But as far as I know, no one can invoke the TMP. Well, not quite true, obviously, but no normal program, even if APF authorized can invoke the TMP. It wants to run as the job step task, and that's difficult. In particular, while you can have more than one job step task in an address space, the TMP and REXX won't stand for it. Well, perhaps they will let it go if you don't try to invoke anything authorized, but I don't think even that. The only ways I know that you can invoke the TMP are 1) from EXEC PGM= 2) from UNIX exec(), which effectively creates a new job step in a BPX initiator address space.
