I'm confused and very naive.  Long ago I wrote a SDSF
API Rexx exec to extract spool files, based on (its comments):
   See (strangely enough):

   Document Number SA22-7670-11

   #12.0 "z/OS V1R10.0 SDSF Operation and Customization"
    12.0 Using SDSF with the REXX programming language

Alas, that chapter appears not to exist in the current doc.

It's agnostic: operating alike from UNIX shell, IRXJCL,
or as an Edit macro from the command line of an SDSF
display.  In the last case it finds the job ID by parsing
ZSCREEN (Pedro Vera's suggestion -- is there a better
way?)

It uses ISFCALLS(ON) but no ISFCALLS(OFF) (should
I expect something bad on that account?)

Lots of ADDRESS SDSF; no ISFQUERY() nor
CONNECT.  Am I missing out on much?  Is this running
"under SDSF" or otherwise?
