What release z/OS are you using "now"? From the Scriptures:
Title: z/OS V1R7.0 DFSMS Macro Instructions for Data Sets
Document Number: SC26-7408-03
2.2.54 "z/OS V1R7.0 DFSMS Macro Instructions for Data Sets" IBM Libr... (p6 of
7)
clears, or resets to empty, a PDSE directory. The parameter list (list
address) is not required for STOW initialize. This function works only
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
with PDSEs and the data set must be allocated with DISP=OLD or DISP=MOD.
^^^^^^^^^^
As for ISPF services, the OP didn't exclude those. He did exclude
"DIY" Rexx code (but not CLIST). But I don't know the parameters
of "DIY". Would he accept "DIY" commands in SYSIN for a utility,
but find anything in SYSEXEC for Rexx somehow unacceptable? Would
he accept "DIY" JCL, or must that also be supplied and "IBM-supported"?
