By "right DD staements" I mean those DD statements needed in order to successfully use those ISPF facilities that you need.
And, yes, if you don't need any TSO facilities then IRXJCL is simpler. As for running it in a shell, that depends on what you are doing and on how things are configured; if you have an OMVS segment then it's probably simpler. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

My second choice, when I don't need TSO facilities, is IRXJCL -- fewer DD statements. My first choice is Rexx under UNIX. Zero DD statements. But I needed to tweak my use of BPXWDYN( "INFO ..." ) to handle the special case of no DDs allocated. IRXJCL is easier with z/OS 2.5 which documents running Rexx from a PS data set. It was long rumored to work that way; perhaps someone submitted an RCF asking either to support it or report it. IBM chose the former. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
