Been there, done that. Fortunately, the company still had a card reader and a
card punch, lat 1980's.

This reminds me of the tale I related recently about having to revive a data
center 400 miles away after VTAM got broken in a sysres switch. It seems so
simple to 'run a job to rename a data set'. But if you cannot logon to a
system, how will that job get submitted? If you are clever enough to have a
mechanism like 'S JOB,JOBNAME=XXX', how will you edit up the IDCAMS control
statements you need in job XXX? Or whatever else it would take to accomplish
what one minute of TSO activity could achieve?
We can dismiss TSO as a simple tool with no special comic book powers. But try
to get anything useful done without it.

An alternative might be might be as simple as:
//STEP EXEC PGM=IEBGENER
//SYSUT2 DD SYSOUT=(,INTRDR),...
As I follow this thread, I wonder why CICS doesn't submit batch jobs with the
credentials of the requesting individual rather than the CICS region.
