I want to write an ISPF application which is self contained. I vaguely
remembered that someone, sometime, said it is possible to "embed" the ISPF
panels / message / et al in the REXX itself. The only thing that I've seen
is more like an shell HERE document. This function basically creates a
temporary file, writes the HERE data to it, then uses that temporary file.
The ISPF equivalent is to write the ISPF panels / messages and so on into
"temporary" PDSes. And then use the LIBDEF to make the PDSes active. Is
this the way it is done? That is, by "cheating", rather than some ISPF
function?
Convert anything into REXX QUEUE statements:
https://prino.neocities.org/zOS/epanq.exec.html
An example:
https://prino.neocities.org/zOS/e123.exec.html
Invoke as "epanq ?" or "e123 ?@s" to get the builtin help.
Note that it's perfectly possible to store LOAD libraries in your exec. Just
AMATERSE them, convert them into QUEUE statements, load a dataset and unpack them.
