Would it be feasible for you to invoke IKJEFT01 instead of the
Rexx interpreter to run your Rexx exec? That way you have the TSO
environment available to your Rexx script, and can use SYSDSN and
friends. IKJEFT01 will return the return value from last command
executed.
Or is your COBOL program linked with compiled Rexx code? How
does your program communicate with Rexx?
