Based on experimentation:

- IRXEXCOM works fine in a non-integrated environment. Of course, I have not
used every function, but I have retrieved and set lists of individual
variables extensively.

- Yes, as you say, a "non-integrated" environment works under TSO, perfectly
for my particular requirements -- I'm sure mileage will vary.

- I use EXECIO -- basically EXECIO 1/* DISKR/W ddname (Stem record. -- under
TSO in a non-integrated environment with no noticed problems.

Subject: Re: How to write a full-screen Rexx debugger?

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.

IRXEXCOM.

That, at least, does work in an "integrated" environment.
