Hi, what you are trying to achieve is the task of a transaction manager. Keep multiple resources (MQ, DB2) in sync. What would you do to do the same thing from a COBOL application? TSO batch does not provide this functionality either. RRS provides this functionality, but there is no API for it

You'll need to start up ISPF from the REXX program pass it the proper parameters. I would create a second REXX program which does the EDIT. Then have the first REXX program start up ISPF with something like: ISPSTART CMD(%REDIT dsn.to.edit) Where REDIT would be something akin to: /* rexx */

CONCAT is not a standard TSO/E command. It's likely a Rexx or CLIST, in which case you can look at the code to see what it does. If it's an RYO command processor, you may not have the source. I agree with your earlier comment that handling concatenations may be different from single data sets
