Hint: RXSUBCOM

Caveat: A version is available with DB2 or there is the version available from: 
Open Software Technologies product REXXTOOLS/MVS

"RXSUBCOM: a function for dynamically maintaining host command environments. As 
with RXFUNC, RXSUBCOM pre-loads the load module associated with a function to 
enhance performance."  [this is from the REXXTOOLS/MVS Documentation, but I 
also believe it applies to the DB2 version]

Now the BAD (or "My Bad!"):  Sorry, but I do not how to get a copy of RXSUBCOM 
or source, to you and second, I do not know how to write a package for 
RXSUBCOM.  Maybe I should have said "Tease" instead of "Hint" above. :-)

Basically what I am trying to say is that, YES, what I think you want is 
available, but how to get there ?????????????  I HAVE NO CLUE!

Maybe you will have better luck to find something out there about RXSUBCOM and 
its ability to update the "host command table?"

My thought was to avoid creating a function package and all that goes with it 
and hoping there was a dynamic way to do it.

Or at least to dynamically load a rexx function module at the start of an exec 
so that it would be referenced in storage rather than being loaded/deleted when 
used, and then to unload it when done.

I may be off base but it seems like a nice thing to do to improve the 
performance when using modules for rexx functions and not having to create a 
function package.

Lionel.

Don;t know what exactly the need, but TSO (Rexx) supplies environment 
initialization & termination exits.
