There was a similar discussion on the List back in January of this
year, where someone provided a nice Rexx exec that issued operator commands via
the SDSF Rexx API. The Rexx was called OPERCMDB and was executed via JCL. This
would allow you to "authorize" only those who need it, instead of opening up
command submission for everyone!!!!

Just remember, you need to BLOCK who can send COMMANDS through the // COMMAND
or you have opened yourself up

Yes. As soon as it gets interpreted. As for a "command issuer", I stole a
rexx exec from IBM that uses ISFSLASH to issue commands, and trap the
responses. Uses your standard SAF interfaces to authorize command use, etc.
I don’t know why IBM just hasn’t packaged something standard for use.

When did it work? IIRC the command is issued when it is read or converted.
If you want the command to be issued at a time relative to other steps in the
job, you'll need a program to submit the command. If you submit your test with
TYPRUN=HOLD, does the command get executed?
