Note that LINKMVS provides the parameter list most similar to the classic OS
CALL.
Grrr. SUBCOM is supposed to help here, but I read:
z/OS IBM TSO/E REXX Reference Version 2 Release 3
SA32-0972-30
Chapter 10. TSO/E REXX commands
►► SUBCOM envname ►◄
queries the existence of a specified host command environment. ...
You can use the SUBCOM command in REXX execs that run in both the TSO/E
address space and non-TSO/E address spaces.
English usage: While this suggests that I can use the SUBCOM command in REXX
execs
that run in both the TSO/E address space and non-TSO/E address spaces, it
doesn't say
that I can use SUBCOM in execs that run in only one of the two but not the
other.
I'll submit an RCF.
And SUBCOM is itself a command, which means it must be issued to a command
environment. Do all non TSO/E command environments support SUBCOM?
In a Rexx exec running in an OMVS address space, can I:
address SH 'SUBCOM MVS'
address SH 'SUBCOM SH'
???
It's dismaying that RC==-3 is issued both for invalid environment and for
invalid
command within invalid environment.
