I'm trying to port a REXX utility program from z/VM to z/OS. 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).
Not sure why this matters.
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.
The TSO/E REXX environment is the most robust on the platform. There are alternatives:
