So, I think Paul has nailed it - do they need anything more than
SVC 99 services and basic EXECIO style I/O (which can both be achieved
without a TSO environment)?
If there are specific TSO services needed, then pull out your
trusty "TSO/E Programming Services" and bone up on IKJTSOEV and
IKJEFTSR.
Note that you can't use any authorized TSO services via this
interface. If you need that, then the stones may really need to be
re-cut, along the lines that Walt suggested.
Cheers,
Bob
