TSO command System Rexx

Before I have to reinvent the command again, I forgot to take a copy from $previousjob, does anyone have a rexx exec in their system rexx library that executes a TSO command from a system rexx address space? Mark Jacobs Sent from [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com), Swiss-based encrypted

Re: JES2 $SUBMIT Command

Just wondering if anyone has implemented it and what use cases did you come up with. Mark Jacobs Sent from [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com), Swiss-based encrypted email. GPG Public Key - https://api.protonmail.ch/pks/lookup?op=get=markjac...@protonmail.com

Re: cyberark efforts

Sorry. I have no idea how the whole thing works from an infrastructure POV. I'm just a user, these were my observations at my $currentjob. Mark Jacobs Sent from ProtonMail, Swiss-based encrypted email. GPG Public Key - https://api.protonmail.ch/pks/lookup?op=get=markjac...@protonmail.com

Re: cyberark efforts

Yes. Once a day, or when my checked out password expires I sign on to Cyberark and checkout the new password. I then can use that to logon to any system regardless of the RACF database it uses. Mark Jacobs Sent from ProtonMail, Swiss-based encrypted email. GPG Public Key - https

Re: cyberark efforts

We have multiple RACF databases, the passwords are all kept in sync via RRSF links. One userid/one password. Mark Jacobs Sent from ProtonMail, Swiss-based encrypted email. GPG Public Key - https://api.protonmail.ch/pks/lookup?op=get=markjac...@protonmail.com --- Original Message
