Invoke Rexx from TSO main menu

[BrembM3]

I've written a Multi- dataset editor - called it MED - now I want to invoke it from the first options menu on TSO by just typing in 'MED' on the Option line. Where do I define this?
Thks...
Please excuse the rookie question's....

Well you have (at least) 2 options. If you can update your primary options panel (usually ISR@PRIM or ISP@PRIM) you can put in something like this in;

MED,'CMD(MED) MODE(FSCR)'

this is the same as a ISPEXEC SELECT CMD(MED).

Other than that you can update your ISPCMDS table - this is a little tricky but there was a post earlier with a link to a website... I'm sure someone can help you.

Thanx KRdude, the systems guys here won't allow this, so I had to include MED as a User Option - bit of a pain to get to, but it works...
Thanx again...

Zip over to

http://web.tampabay.rr.com/mvsrexx/REXX/

and pick up a copy of ADDCMDS. If you have your own table library, you can build a command table there and use ADDCMDS to splice it to the in-storage copy of ISPCMDS. Once you have that facility you just assign "tso addcmds" to one of your PFKeys and you're up-and-running with one keystroke.

In your statup profile... add this,

"ALLOC F(INDD2) DS('Your PDS REXX LIB') SHR REUSE"
"CONCAT (SYSEXEC,INDD2)"

After this just type TSO MED after that on ISPF command line or else MED on TSO. It would execute it.
