A750: TSO REXX Programming in z/OS

TSO REXX Programming in z/OS - Course Objectives

On successful completion of this class, the student, with the aid of the appropriate reference materials, should be able to:

1. Describe the TSO environment, and describe the distinctions between TSO
commands and REXX instructions

2. Write REXX EXECs to accomplish useful functions

3. Use TSO commands to work with datasets, either in native mode or in EXECs

4. Use REXX instructions to work with records in files

5. Use subroutines as a coding technique for EXECs

6. Use TSO and EXECs to run programs in the Foreground or the Background
(batch)

7. Run EXEC's in the batch, in TSO/E-integrated address spaces or
non-TSO/E-integrated address spaces

8. Use TSO commands to send and receive datasets between users

9. Use the REXX compiler, if it is available

10. Use the level 2 REXX constructs, if they are available.
