>From what I can see, the original script was a REXX exec and from Chapter 5 in >the SDSF User Guide :
"Adding the SDSF host command environment with ISFCALLS Using SDSF with REXX requires that you add a host command environment prior to any other SDSF host environment commands. The host command environment is what allows you to use Address SDSF on the ISFEXEC and ISFACT commands. You add the host command environment with the ISFCALLS() function. You should delete the host command environment, again using ISFCALLS, prior to the termination of the exec. The syntax of the ISFCALLS() function is: rc = ISFCALLS ( 'ON' 'OFF' ,'SSTYPE=JES2' ) ON adds the SDSF host command environment OFF deletes the SDSF host command environment SSTYPE=JES2 requests that SDSF process JES2 rather than determining whether to process JES2 or JES3" I think the above documentation is placed in the correct chapter (as long the "Invoking SDSF" section is updated to point to Chapter 5 for REXX). SDSF is not implicitly activated in REXX, you have to explicitly activate it using the ISFCALLS() function (which the original REXX script does).

On re-reading the SDSF User Guide, the section on "Invoking SDSF" only mentions TSO and ISPF as I believe it is referring to the interactive interface and the things you can do on the panels (or screens). I agree that this is misleading as there other ways of invoking SDSF to get data. I will see if I can get the "Invoking SDSF" section in the user guide to be more explicit and point to the later chapters that describe REXX (and batch).

Has anyone suggestions for additions? Hello, MHVRCFs, Neither z/OS Version 2 Release 4 TSO/E REXX Reference IBM SA32-0972-40 nor z/OS Version 2 Release 4 Using REXX and z/OS UNIX System Services IBM SA23-2283-40 mentions that the SDSF command environment ("ADDRESS SDSF") is available under IRXJCL and Unix System Services. I have used ADDRESS SDSF in both contexts. I suspect this function is provided intentionally by IBM with intent to support it. z/OS Version 2 Release 4 SDSF User's Guide IBM SC27-9028-40 mentions only that it's available under TSO, not IRXJCL nor UNIX System Services. I find UNIX and IRXJCL mentioned somewhat obliquely in http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/pdfs/sg247419.pdf<http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/pdfs/sg247419.pdf><http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/pdfs/sg247419.pdf<http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/pdfs/sg247419.pdf>> ... but a Redbook is not where most programmers would seek such documentation. The availability of "ADDRESS SDSF" under UNIX and IRXJCL should be mentioned in a Reference manual. More generally, should the availability of a command environment be documented in a Rexx manual such as SA32-0972-40 or SA23-2283-40, or in the manual describing the commands such as SC27-9028-40? An incomplete list such as in SA32-0972-40 or SC27-9028-40 is likely to mislead programmers.
