Someone spent a lot of time to figure that method out.

The Implementing REXX Support in SDSF redbook (

for COBOL to call the SDSF interface via REXX.

Well, REXX has an interface for a routine to set REXX variables. There is no
equivalent for, e.g., COBOL.
It's not a question of compiled versus not compiled; it's a question of what
interfaces are available to the called program. A compiled REXX program can
call SDSF; a COBOL program running in a COBOL interpreter would not be able to
do so.

Subject: SDSF API question -- why only REXX & Java?
This is just a curiosity question. The SDSF book shows an API for using it
in REXX and Java. Anybody know why no other languages? Or are we supposed
to use SAPI for compiled languages instead of the SDSF API? Or is it SPOOL
Dataset Browser that we are supposed to use?

This is clearly another case of too many mad scientists, and not enough
hunchbacks.
