Executing a BCPii REXX exec in the TSO/E REXX environment

BCPii supports the invocation of its APIs from the TSO/E REXX programming environment, as long as the installation has allowed BCPii to be available from the TSO/E environment. See Setting up access for BCPii TSO/E REXX execs for information on setting up BCPii to run in a TSO/E REXX environment.

BCPii APIs can be run from REXX execs under TSO/E in the following ways:

TSO/E foreground:
- Issue the exec from the TSO/E READY mode, or
- ISPF by using the TSO EXECUTE command.
See TSO/E REXX User's Guide for the syntax of the EXECUTE command.
TSO/E background:
- Issue the exec from JCL, specifying IKJEFT01 as the program name on the JCL EXEC statement. See TSO/E REXX Reference for more information about running REXX execs using IKJEFT01.
