Let me summarize the discussion: 1. The hostemu environment commands “TS” “TE” and “HI” work as documented in the ooRexx Rexx Extensions manual. 2. The commands mentioned above although named like the CMS commands, don’t work like the CMS commands. 3. The commands mentioned above offer little if any additional functionality to ooRexx.
It would be interesting to hear from the author to understand his/her reason for implementing the commands. Possible paths forward: 1. Do nothing. 2. Add documentation to clarify the use and restrictions of the current commands. 3. Remove documentation referring to the commands, i.e. make them undocumented. 4. Remove the commands from the software and documentation. 5. Enter an RFE to change how the commands work to be compatible with the workings of the CMS commands.
