Mark, when running REXX in batch and to disassociate your code from a TSO user-ID, as the first statement in your script use the PROFILE NOPREFIX statement. Then you can reference z/OS data sets by name, with or without a TSO prefix as the HLQ.

It will do I/O (reading and writing regular QSAM files), but the wrinkle is that it cannot run in the TSO batch environment (most of the jobs that will use it aren't associated with a TSO userid). Is this possible? If so, where would I find reference info on how to do it? I've turned Google and the IBM Publications web site upside down looking, with no luck. Best regards, Mark L.
