While the TSO authorized service facility will certainly do the job, I suspect that eventually System Rexx will become mandatory, so you might want to get your feet wet early on.

Updating IKJTSOnn and APF authorizing whatever is not a problem. At issue seems to be the following... The ADDRESS TSO CALL command appears to support only a single non-updatable parameter string, but does support calling an authorized assembler program. The LINKMVS, LINKPGM, ATTACHMVS and ATTACHPGM host command environments all appear to support the passing of multiple updatable parameters, but the Rexx Reference doc I've been reading in section 'Host Command Environments for Linking to and Attaching Programs', states that these command environments are all used to link/attach to... unauthorized programs. Is there a way to satisfy both requirements using the LINK* or ATTACH* command environments or should I be looking at System Rexx or IKJEFTSR or something else? (I would prefer not to setup System Rexx if there's a reasonable alternative) Thanks much, Mike ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
