So you're leaving yourself an enormous "out". Anything I can't do from
a shell environment (and I believe Kernel Don even disparaged the word
"environment") you simply say isn't an "'MVS Classic' service".
When I am in a shell, and the only way I can think of to do a RECEIVE is
to stuff JCL down an INTRDR with an IKJEFT01 step that invokes a Rexx
EXEC to queue a response to the RECEIVE prompt, it hurts as if I've
run into a wall. But you'll excuse it if you can call RECEIVE not an
"'MVS Classic' service". As I said, I'd welcome a tested alternative.
