OK. my version is based on TSO CONSOLE command. It reads command and
verification value from sysin (see rexx test below), execure the command
and verifies that the command response equal to the one read from sysin. it
can be easily modified to read multiple commands and verification strings.
The idea behind the verification is to ensure that the command executed as
expected (file was closed, job was started, etc.). igone the copywrite
statement of course...

Best,
