Anyone else notice this buried in the V1.9 announcement?

"SDSF is being enhanced to add the capability to provide access to SDSF 
functions through REXX variables. The variables will be loaded with data 
from the SDSF panels, enabling scripts to access the data 
programmatically. The data can also be changed; this provides a capability 
similar to action characters and overtyping."

A REXX API to SDSF functions could be pretty cool.  I can think of a lot 
of applications.  We could finally trash all those batch jobs that screen 
scrape panels.  And if overtypes and action characters were 
supported...hmmm.
