But, then, I don't really know exactly what you are wanting your batch job to do. Historically, a person uses a web browser to contact a web server with a URL. The web server decodes this URL and displays a page of output. That's the simplest case. In your case, the web server does the equivalent of saying "Go ask George" (re-direct). So the web browser, without interaction with the end user, goes to the re-directed web server, perhaps with a different URL. This is what your example REXX is doing -- telling the web browser software to "go ask George". I think what you are wanting is a way for a step in a batch job to "invoke" a REST service. Yes, you can write REXX to do this. But it is basically doing "low level" sockets programming in REXX using REXX Sockets. https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSLTBW_2.1.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r1.hala001/ipapirxa.htm This is not really for the faint of heart.
