I've done it too, and indeed it's not for the faint-hearted. The documentation leaves much to the experimenter. But the biggest problem is that it is not supported if the Rexx environment is "integrated into TSO/E", which applies to pretty much all Rexx environments that anyone is using while sitting at a TSO screen. Yes, you can invoke Rexx from a program under TSO and explicitly not have it "integrated", but then you lose all sorts of expected functionality, such as TSO commands, EXECIO, and a number of common built-in functions. > I am *guessing* that Rexx would call it for TRACE I/O. Yes, it does, and it works fine in a non-TSO/E environment. > You can also read and write Rexx variables from outside Rexx using IRXEXCOM. That, at least, does work in an "integrated" environment.
