RE: TSO Rexx and SDSF

According to the Feb 13 z/OS 1.9 Preview announcement
http://www-306.ibm.com/common/ssi/fcgi-bin/ssialias?infotype=an&subtype=
ca&appname=Demonstration&htmlfid=897/ENUS207-018

SDSF is being enhanced to add the capability to provide access to SDSF
functions through REXX variables. The variables will be loaded with data
from the SDSF panels, enabling scripts to access the data
programmatically. The data can also be changed; this provides a
capability similar to action characters and overtyping.

In other REXX related issues:

System REXX (SYSREXX) - This component makes possible execution of REXX
routines in an authorized environment. SYSREXX execs can be used to
automate complex operator commands and other system functions. SYSREXX
execs can be invoked by a program interface, and by operator command.
IBM also plans to make this available for z/OS V1.8 via a Web
deliverable.
IBM Health Checker for z/OS will support checks that are written in REXX
using the SYSREXX function

I have heard a rumor that in z/OS V1.9 there is to be a TSO REXX
interface to SDSF (or vise versa).



I did not see anything in the presentations at Share in Tampa and was
wondering if anyone had anymore details.



The TSO-REXX newsgroup did not have any details. Also, do you know when
the manuals for z/OS V1.9 might start becoming available?
