Apologies for a very basic question. I am trying to write my first TSO command or the like.
Yes, I have RTFM. Am I reading it correctly? Assume a program in userid.MY.LOAD named FOO. Assume TSOLIB ADD DSN(MY.LOAD) which implies Ready prompt, not ISPF. Is the following correct? - If I type FOO SOME OPERANDS then FOO will be entered "as a TSO command" with R1 pointing to a 4-word CPPL. The doc is pretty clear on that. - OTOH if I enter CALL MY(FOO) 'SOME OPERANDS' then FOO will be entered with normal z/OS linkage, e.g. R1 pointing to a word that points to a halfword length and the character string 'SOME OPERANDS' (without the quotes). Is that correct? The doc is not very clear to me. A corollary question: is there any way to execute FOO as a TSO command but specify that I want the FOO in userid.MY.LOAD, not some other FOO that might be ahead of it in the STEPLIB concatenation? Can I get the explicit load library of CALL with the linkage of a command processor? (Excluding solutions that involve writing programs to search the libraries, de-concatenating, and so forth. I want to just execute FOO from a specified load library without changing the whole environment.)
