Re: Issuing TSO commands from MVS console

Generic warning to be careful using anything from the CBT tape to issue TSO
commands via CONSOLE. I gave a Bit Bucket segment in San Diego on
adventures with the StarTool (aka PDS Command) started task commonly
installed as 'PDSE'. This is an ancient component of the product--hence not
updated for many years. As of z/OS 1.8, an old program that uses a one-byte
console id will fail to return WTO output to the issuing console. There are
new keywords for CONSOLxx to get 'unknown' responses to any particular
console, but you have to know how to set them up.

I'm guessing that a lot of CBT programs still use one-byte ids.

BTW Serena has fixed the problem in their version of the product.
