Paul,

The elegant and user-friendly way to do this sort of thing is to exploit the
use of the PORT statement BIND parameter in conjunction with VIPAs. This way
you can offer an REXEC service on port number 512 for either TSO or USS and
distinguish the two by IP address which, of course, can be extended to a
separate name fore each service with the cooperation of the name service.

Having written that, I thought I'd "go the extra mile (1 3/5 kilometres)"
and provide an example. Wouldn't you know it, the CS IP authors have beaten
me to it - in section 2.18.5, "Configuring TSO and z/OS UNIX Remote
Execution servers to use the same port", of the z/OS Communications Server
IP Configuration Guide? I'd be inclined to go the extra yard (appox. 1
metre) and use a VIPA for both services instead on just the one - but then
I'm a perfectionist. <g> Oh, and why they don't mention being really helpful
and propose names such as rexec.tso.abccorp.com and rexec.unix.abccorp.com I
don't know.
