Console Host Command Environment

Description: In V2R1 the installation has the choice of having System REXX use the Terminal Monitor Program (TMP) instead of the TSO Environment Service to process TSO=YES AXREXX requests. The primary benefit of this feature is the ability to use the Console host command environment within an exec to retrieve messages that are not command responses. When using the default TSO Environment Servce, the only means of retrieving messages is through the use of the AXRCMD function which only supports the ability to retrieve command responses. The SUBMIT TSO command is also supported within the TMP, providing an easier means of having an exec submit JCL.

When change was introduced: z/OS® V2R1.
