I am (was, actually, having solved the problem differently for now) trying
to run a compiled Rexx program under TSO and force it to use the "Alternate
Library" rather than the "Rexx Library" (which was link-listed) for test
purposes, to duplicate a customer problem.

The symptoms are/were:

- When the Rexx library was linklisted, no matter what I did with CALL and
TSOLIB and copying modules around and so forth, was that Rexx found the
EAGRTPRC in the linklist rather than in the alternate library. This is NOT
the documented or actual behavior when the alternate library is STEPLIB in a
batch job. Could I have made some fat finger mistake? Of course, but I don't
think I did.

- Now with the Rexx library out of the linklist, the symptom is the message
(from memory) "The runtime processor EAGRTPRC is not available."

I really have no way of knowing what is going on under the covers in
compiled Rexx as it tries to locate EAGRTPRC. For all I know, it
"intentionally" behaves differently under TSO as opposed to batch.

How have we solved the problem for now? By using SETPROG LPA to linklist one
set of modules or the other. Kind of a messy solution.

Yes.  When DCB=CVTLINK is specified, CSV ignores all the TCBJLB fields which

point to tasklib DCBs and goes directly to the system libraries (LPA, 
link-list).

Well, there goes my theory.  With DCB=CVTLINK, STEPLIB (and JOBLIB) is 
ignored.

BTW, what are the symptoms, exactly?  S806-04 or some other message?
