Thanks Bob. I guess I'll go back to using CEXEC format. Chuck -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robert Wright Sent: Friday, April 13, 2007 8:05 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: REXX Under IPCS

No, the compiled REXX load module format bumps into the logic within the IPCS monitor that allows you to intermingle TSO commands with your IPCS subcommands to the extent that they're unambiguous. When IPCS runs what it considers to be a TSO command, there is no support supplied for the TSO command to communicate with IPCS services. Use one of the other REXX compiler formats if you want to compile an exec for use with IPCS. I think that we got the restriction documented - briefly - at the time that the REXX compiler developed their support. If you don't find it where you'd expect to find the documentation, please submit a reader's comment form. If the restriction is a significant inconvenience, please submit a requirement. At the moment I don't know of any really simple way to tell IPCS that a module should be handled so that IPCS subcommands embedded within it will be honored, but we'd take another look if it turns out to be important.
