For every z/OS release we also create a "What's new in SDSF" style presentation that we give at Share and GSE and then upload to the IBM Education GitHub. There is also an in-product help table of new functions for the release.
As for SDSF rexx examples, you can use the RGEN command that will generate sample rexx statements to navigate to where you currently are in the product OR use "RGEN X" to pick a sample from the supplied list of basic scenarios.

I was enhanced significantly last years. I like it. However I observe many users are simply *not aware* of many new features. They obviously use panels, which are visible in main menu, but they miss many other tools. I believe everything is documented, but it is rather rare that someone read whole documentation as a novel. Q: is there any presentation or whitepaper describing "new and shining" things in SDSF? Regarding SDSF and REXX - I miss simple examples. It is not only SDSF-related pain. I observe many z/OS users are looking for code samples via Google search and we find some bad or very bad ones, submitted on some forums.
