Yes.
If you provide a real life example of what you are trying to do you may

You can run a REXX program that will go into an OSF server and OPSWAIT.
You could create a dynamic TOD rule to run a program at some time in the

In my opinion, Steve Comstock is out of line here.
In JES2 for z/OS 1.7, IBM has implemented perhaps the most significant
enhancements to JES2 in literally years.
- NJE over TCP/IP
- Large Spool data sets ( 64K tracks)
- Long SYSIN support (32K Lrecl)
- Table Pair enhancements
- SSI for JES2
In an attempt to help customers where the original JES2 sysprog has moved
on to bigger and better things, IBM has decided to provide a service to
help customers evaluate their JES2 exits, and determine if the scope of
their particular project is small/medium/large/xlarge.
WHY IS THIS A BAD THING?

Just a couple of COBOL sequential file issues that MIGHT impact this.
1) If the file is a variable length file, then make certain that you have
the AWO compiler options specified.
2) If you have any internal SORT statments, make certain that you have
